“Scott is a very bright young man. He has a strong intellect, is well read and has very good aptitude. I was able to show him how to accomplish a complex task one time, he assimilated the information and was able to perform at a high level in a very short time. It's obvious Scott can learn quickly and well. He is a strong candidate for whatever profession or line of work he pursues. He learns and does well with great interest and passion. I applaud and congratulate Scott on all his professional pursuits.”

The Real Immigration Crisis
New American Economy
Given that 54 percent of our federal discretionary spending is allocated to national security, the tie between our economy and military strength is pronounced.1 The degree to which immigration underpins both is substantial and underrated.

Custom Geochron Piece for Bill Nye
Bill Nye asked me to custom-fabricate a piece for his geochron, which is essentially a fancy clock. He calls the custom piece a "sun-button", because it displays the sun's position in its analemma. The stock sun-button came in opaque black, which is just a terrible depiction of the sun. Bill commissioned me to produce a translucent sun-button that could transmit light.
The dimensions are 0.96"x0.25"x0.25"—pretty small.

Bio/Med Tech encompasses a wide range of products and approaches that are used to maintain or improve health by treating diseases or medical conditions affecting humans. Judges representing the small business, startup, and health tech communities scored the applications, paying particular focus on value-based innovation (i.e. achieving better health outcomes without increasing costs or lowering costs without diminishing outcomes).
The four finalists were Enzyme Health, Jelly Medical, Clairvoyant, and Think & Zoom.
Standing in the new Dell Medical School Health Learning Building Auditorium surrounded by 60+ people and three very large screens displaying presentation slides, each finalist had five minutes to pitch their business to the audience.
After four presentations and four rounds of exceptional Q&A, the audience voted for their winner. The Austin Young Chamber is honored to announce the winner of the Austin Fast Start for Bio/Med Tech…JellyMedical!
Pitched by co-founders Meghan Fitzpatrick and Scott Hickle, JellyMedical is creating the world’s first bra for scar management, the JellyBra, made with medical-grade silicone to help reduce scar size and redness. JellyMedical took home the cash prize of $2,000 plus in-kind prizes valued at $5,000.
