Keith Barkalow – our team bio medical engineering technician

Keith began his career as a biomedical engineer technician at the UIHC, but since 1984 he has been at the Veterans Hospital in Iowa City.  Keith heard about MOST via Dennis Wilson another bio-medical engineer who has been on three different MOST missions. When Keith heard about the mission, he told Dennis that this would be something he would be interested in doing sometime. Last year Dennis was not available to come with MOST, so Keith was happy to take his place, coming on his first mission with MOST. Again this year there was an opening and Keith was asked by Gary and John to fill the vacancy.  Keith said, “this is the most rewarding thing I have ever done.”
