What inspired you to pursue a career in the engineering field?

I always enjoyed tearing things apart to see how they worked and sometimes even putting them back together correctly without any extra parts.  I enjoy the challenge of working through the problem at hand and coming up with a solution with the least amount of compromises.

What kinds of hobbies and interest do you have outside of work?

My biggest hobby is motorsports.  I dabble in kart racing and enjoy watching my friend’s race Sprint Cars and NASCAR Trucks.

What is your most treasured possession?

Since I can’t claim ownership of my fiancé, I would probably say my Miter saw.
