Why I became an engineer?

I excelled in math and science in high school so engineeringwas really a natural choice for me.I also liked taking a look at the insides of things to see how they worked although I left putting them back together up to somebody else. Engineering gave me the opportunity to mesh these qualities together.

My favorite thing about Theta Tau?

There are two things that jump right out when I think of Theta Tau. The friendships I have created with so many people and the brotherhood bond that goes along with that. There are so many different disciplines that the brothers are all involved in but everyone has the same ideals and goals which helps drive everyone in their school endeavors. Whether we are out doing something socially or professionally, everybody has a good time together.

Sporting and Outdoor activities?

When it comes to sports I play them all. I like doing things that keep your mind and body active. Baseball is by far my favorite but I would be happy with a racket, club, paddle or whatever.

Hobbies:

See sports!! I also enjoy going to shows. Live music to me is fascinating. Puzzle books and such are also some things I like to do in my spare time. Also, being the native Floridian, I can usually be found poolside or ocean side when time permits.

If I wasn't an engineer, I would pursue...

I grew up the oldest of four and have had to deal with youngsters quite often. That and the fact that I really like math would probably push me in the direction of teaching. If I were to pursue that particular route, I would prefer to teach elementary children so that I could get them before they formed any bad opinions about math. Then I could start them on their way to being future engineers!
