Matthew J. Geraci ’94 recently completed a project for NASA’s Payload Operations Integration Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Geraci’s small business, TheBlastingCabinet, created microelectronic engraved glass signs that change color, giving NASA’s Mission Control Room in Huntsville a unique and innovative new look. Mission controllers will now have a new way to communicate with the International Space Station.
After Geraci received a Baccalaureate of Science in physics and nuclear engineering, he was commissioned as an active duty Army officer with deployments to Kuwait and Kosovo. He served as the Commander for the Army's 62d Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Company and is one of the few EOD officers with hands-on experience dealing with live mustard and nerve gas weapons.
In 2006 he earned his Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of Utah and later completed a post-graduate residency at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. He currently serves as a clinical pharmacist in emergency medicine with Baptist Health in Jacksonville, Florida.
