I live a life of energy. Early in life, I directed my own energy to every sport imaginable - baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer, golf, and the list goes on. During my undergraduate education, I became enthralled with other forms of energy... the real world of energy. Thus, I dove headfirst into the world of energy solutions. This question of sustainable energy, the great challenge of our day, has fueled my passion for creative mathematics and engineering. From executing engineering solutions in the nuclear energy industry to jet engine manufacturing, I have taken every opportunity to learn the real challenges facing today's world. For instance, what technology in the aerospace industry can most greatly reduce aircraft waste? At Pratt and Whitney, I took the singular opportunity to work with the most advanced composite materials in the world which will have the most significant impact on engine weight reduction, ultimately decreasing harmful fuel waste. My dedication to sustainable energy drives my morals and work ethic. Nothing excites and motivates me more then the thought of the masses benefiting from electric transport powered by renewable resources. With the collective passion - the energy - of skilled visionaries, I believe this future is possible.
