What or who got you involved? I liked to build things and it seemed like an interesting club.

Who is your role model? My role models would need to be a combination of great people; Mr. Hildebrandt, Mr. Slaby, Rich Schuster, David Cesiel, Dean Kamen

Future career plans: Study Chemical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or the like at MIT, Purdue, U of M, MTU, Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, or Kettering University. Short term, find an engineering summer internship

Interests and hobbies: soccer, video games, school, BUILDING ROBOTS!!!

One message for future FIRST students: You only get out of robotics what you put in. Don't be discouraged because somebody doesn't give you a job, but rather ask again in 5 minutes. The biggest job an inexperienced robotics member needs to preform is to ask for things to do.
