Ryan Beggiato

I was born on February 7th, 1999 in Somerville, New Jersey right near the infamous Princeton Township. I have always had a passion and yearn to understand lacrosse, video games, aircraft flight, and science fiction space travel. Everyday the world gets closer and closer to mastering the final frontier, space. This presumably infinite three dimensional field of nothing but awe inspiring stellar phenomena that humanity only just barely currently understands is truly our final challenge. I intend to contribute my part to getting out of our meager atmosphere and into the beyond because, from my point of view, this world will not sustain humanity much longer in the direction our species is headed both in space and resources.

I played lacrosse since the fourth grade all the way up through high school until I tore my ACL and my aspiration and near success to play division three lacrosse in college was lost in one fell swoop. Who knew a simple repetitive motion such as changing directions could ruin the two and expected more incoming offers to play the sport I loved so much for four more years while I was still young. Nonetheless, I would not have had the opportunity to study Aerospace engineering at such a distinguished and renowned program at the University of Maryland if this had not come to pass.

I spend my spare time outside the class and University programs watching college alcross and exploring twitch.tv for new and exciting gaming content to keep me busy when my head is not buried in a textbook. I hope to soon work for Lockheed Martin or Sikorsky Aircraft, a company under Lockheed Martin, improving the United States’ ability to defend our airspace with the most advanced and stealthy military aircraft in the world.
