VITA
Robert James Friar was born in Boston, Massachusetts on November 21,
1971, the son of Susan Sommers Friar and James Lewis Friar. His family moved to
Los Alamos, New Mexico in 1976, and Mr. Friar graduated from Los Alamos High
School in 1990. He entered the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign the same
year, majoring in Electrical Engineering. During the summers of 1991 through 1994,
he worked as an undergraduate research assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Mr. Friar received the degree of Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign in May, 1994. He entered the Graduate School at the University
of Texas at Austin in August, 1994. Mr. Friar received his Masters of Science in
Engineering in May 1997.
Mr. Friar was married to Kendra Kay Smith on August 5, 1995.
