Greetings! Please join us for our 2022 Columbus Engineer’s Week Lunch. Story Musgrave will be presenting his life story. Farm Kid to Trauma Surgeon to Rocketman and Way Beyond: Excellence, Exploration and Evolution.
This presentation will focus on the lessons learned over the course of his life as a farm kid, marine, trauma surgeon, engineer, astronaut and beyond. How these lessons make you a better persona and a better engineer.

He rode combines at 7, drove trucks and tractors at 10 and when alone in remote fields, repaired them at the age of 13.
