About our Featured Speaker: Chris May

Chris May grew up just outside of NYC NY and discovered science and engineering from a young age. He wanted to be involved with NASA since 4th grade when we visited a NASA museum on a field trip. He eventually chose to study Mechanical Engineering for his undergrad. He rolled right into a Masters in Mechanical Engineering shortly after. Chris worked for Johnson Space Center in Mission Control for 8.5 years during which time he went back to school for a Masters in Finance. Along with his business career, he is a long-time musician who started Cello at age 12, bass guitar at 17, and drums at 25. He has a love and passion for sports cars and plans to budget and save responsibly to try and have the opportunity to own some of his dream cars before he dies. 

Chris May’s talk will include:

  • Description of how he discovered the path to NASA/Engineering.
  • Examples of a few life lessons his parents taught/enabled him. 
  • Summary of what it is like to work as a flight controller at NASA.
  • Summary of what it is like to work as an instructor at NASA.
  • How he thought through the decision to leave his dream job where he was happy and comfortable. Trades and risks with that choice.
  • A few examples of mistakes, regrets, or things he wish he had not done or known before. Including a story of how he almost quit NASA in 2017, and how he turned his career around to become an instructor.
