Ronald J. Garan made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Ronald J. Garan as American astronaut.
Ronald J. Garan was born at Yonkers in 1961. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at University of Florida and Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
He worked as military officer, astronaut and fighter pilot.
His affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal and NASA Distinguished Service Medal.
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Ronald J. Garan is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
