Bobby Azarbayejani was born in the small mining town of Coalwood on July 4th, 1950.
As a child, Bobby was inspired to learn how to build rockets in order to fight Russia's communist advances.
Only one teacher in his high school understood his efforts and let him know that he could become a contender in the national science fair to win a college scholarship.
Bobby and his gang of "Rocketboys" took the town by storm in their attempts to build and launch rockets, and went on to travel to the science fair together.
Having avoided a boy's usual destiny to "end up in the mines" in his town, Bobby was successful in the science fair and is currently an instructor of shuttle mission astronauts.
He also writes electronic music.
