My mother would insist regularly at the slightest hint of doubt in achievement,

Can't never did anything!

As a teacher (both at heart and by profession), she has instilled this truth in my outlook on life since before I can remember. Throughout my youth and adolescence I was consistently presented with projects and activities that allowed me to develop this optimistic confidence with learning and creating new things.

Most notably, my undying passion for “things that move,” was aptly supported by my father (an electrical engineer) through countless hobby kits and do-it-yourself projects, which typically included a substantial electrical hardware component. This early first-hand exposure to mechanics and electronics along with the cultivation of a self-motivated attitude is how my propensity for a future in engineering was born.
