Introducing Cameron Chen, our Lead Dad of the Week!
Cameron lives in Bozeman, Montana, where he’s the Lead Dad to Amelia, 2, and his wife Megan who works in healthcare. For nearly a decade he was a mechanical design engineer at Boeing, which he loved. Problem was Boeing was a be-at-work company, which made balancing work and life a challenge. So he left.
“I’m just a guy who had to make a lot of decisions with my wife to best plot our course around Covid and our careers,” he said of their 2021 move from Seattle to Bozeman – where his wife’s employer Lyn Health allowed her to work remotely.
Around parenting he wrote a 300-page engineering book. And now he’s starting as an instructor in the engineering department at Montana State University in Bozeman.
“The college was very willing to work with my limited hours and so I will just be teaching one class to start and building from there as Amelia goes to school more and more,” he said. “The class I’m teaching is a sophomore level intro to design class. It will be great fun to get back on campus since graduating in 2010 – and it’s a great opportunity to help students and sharpen my own skills.”
Welcome, Cameron, to The Company of Dads!
