(May Albright was born on August 15th, 1982 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He grew up in Roanoke, Virginia and graduated from Patrick Henry High School in 1999. He graduated magna cum laude from Washington and Lee University in 2003 with a Bachelors degree in Physics-Engineering. While at Washington and Lee, he researched commingled polymers under Dr. Ken Van Ness. Dustin came to Virginia Tech in the fall of 2003 to pursue a Masters Degree in Structural Engineering. 2004 From to 2005, he researched timber connections with dowel-type fasteners under Dr. Joe Loferski. It was also during this time (August 7th, 2004) that he married Amy Blevins, whom he met while at Washington and Lee. Following the completion of his Structural Engineering ...
