Ans: From a very young age, I've always been curious as to how things work.

Not only did I make more money repairing computers than I would've cutting grass, but these experiences had peaked my interests in computers, electronics and just about everything electrical. As I grew older other interests began to surface. Throughout high school I became very interested in mathematics and physics. The fact that numbers could quantify and evaluate the world around is not only something that I found interesting, but also very powerful. It was exciting to think that I could model, analyze and understand real world systems using mathematics and physics. Upon entering university, I chose to pursue engineering because it was a perfect marriage between all of my primary interests, all contained within an exciting, innovative and challenging field.
