A Little About Me:

I started out my undergraduate engineering career being interested in cars and cars only.  As with many incoming students, I was in for a surprise when found out I would be studying topics such as Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics.  I had never heard of these subjects before in my life!!! I quickly learned that Mechanical Engineering is more than just automotive technology it’s the application of science, math, and physics to create practical solutions to everyday problems.  Tackling the Cal Poly Pomona Mechanical Engineering curriculum was the most challenging part of my life thus far, but I don’t regret it one bit.  I have met some of the brightest people along the way, worked on projects that still amaze me, and have grown so much as a person.

Aside from engineering, I enjoy my “family and friends” time.  You can always find me with my girlfriend and/or family doing the things I love: grilling, going beast mode in the gym, watching my favorite shows (The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, One Tree Hill), working on my 1970 Camaro, and drinking great libations.

I hope to share my passion for engineering, robotics, electro-mechanical technology, and education with you all on EAF.  Feel free to leave me comments!
