Activities and Societies:

I was pursuing a degree in electrical engineering when I took a summer job as a draftsman. I went to work on a CAD system and found that I enjoyed the mechanical discipline more than electrical. Unfortunately, I have never had the good fortune to work in a locale that allowed access to a good university.
