John Baker

I was raised in France for 17 years and came back to the United States in 1992. I started to seriously study mathematics and physics at the age of eleven years old in a little town on the outskirts of Paris named Limeil Brevannes. I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis in electrical power and computer architecture from San Francisco State University in May of 2003.

I worked for the telecommunication industries as a design engineer for three years. I designed telecommunication networks using AutoCAD software for various firms such as Nextel, Yahoo, Sprint, and AT&T. Later, I started to pursue my teaching credential in physics at a private university since I had a great desire to teach and help students become successful in college. I received my Clear Credential in the field of physics. During the summer of 2011, I worked at Lockheed Martin Space System as a System Engineer Fellow through IISME for a special project using Matlab and to bring my skills back to the classroom. I am currently attending the University of Idaho Engineering Outreach working toward my Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, which is applied physics with a focus in electrical power and antenna theory.

During my spare time, I spend my time with my wife and dog. We do a lot of hiking and exploration of the California Coast.
