Hello! My name is Karl Thaler, and I am a returns processor at iFixit. I am also a Software Engineering student at Cal Poly, and I hope to eventually work in the astronomy field. In my free time, I enjoy walking around San Luis Obispo with my wife, riding my bike, and playing video games.

Every summer, I go on road trips with my family around the US. Previous trips have included New Orleans, Seattle and Chicago (pictured below).

When I’m not in SLO, you’ll likely find me in my home town visiting my dog Blue. She is a crazy Border Collie/Terrier(probably Pitbull) mix, and she loves to go on long bike rides with me (she doesn’t ride a bike she just runs along with me).
