Before joining NASA, Wiseman was a Naval Aviator and test pilot.
Reid Wiseman, callsign "Tonto," a native of Baltimore, Maryland, and a graduate of Dulaney High School in the suburb of Timonium, earned a degree in engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He subsequently obtained a master's degree in systems engineering from Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University in 2006. Wiseman is married and has two daughters as of 2009. He is also a go-cart driver.
