Hi. I’m Broden.

I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Denver working towards my M.S. in Applied Quantitative Finance. After graduation, I’ll be working at APi Group as a Financial Risk Analyst.

I previously worked as a Test Engineer and have experience with CubeSat and Rocket Engine design from my undergraduate in Aerospace Engineer from Texas A&M University.

I’ll be using this website to document my life from now on.
