Close Up
  • School Days

    I attended the University of Arizona in Tucson, where I now work, graduating with a B.S. in computer engineering.

  • Best Part

    With some of the projects that engineers take on, there's no way one person could complete them working alone. A project is going to be twenty times better if you pull all the greatest ideas from a lot of great minds.

  • Want to be an Engineer?

    You can make a lot of money being an engineer. I’ve tried to always remember that no matter how much money I make, I want to make sure I’m happy. You have to find the right fit for yourself.
