This project worked to launch satellites into space for commercial industries, such as DISH Network.

On a more personal note, Dr. Cole and his wife Amy have three grown sons. The oldest is living in Austin, Texas, his second son lives in Minneapolis and the youngest lives in Germany. In his free time, Dr. Cole enjoys home brewing beer, traveling, and spending time at his cabin with family and friends.

What can Botox treat? Botox is very commonly known to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can reduce wrinkles that form on the outskirts of your eyes or better known as Crows feet. It can also help to lessen deep frown lines that form in between your eyes and eyebrows. Botox treatment can help smooth out forehead lines as well, giving you a more relaxed forehead. It has other benefits such as aiding in migraine relief and can be used in conjunction with orthodontics to achieve the ideal smile.

How do Dermal fillers work? Dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid a substance already present in your skin! As we age, this substance in our skin decreases, giving us more defined lines.
