Q+A
Where is your favorite place in the world?
New Zealand is home to me and one of my favorite places in the world.

Why did you choose this career?
Engineering was a career that came naturally to me and I was always good at it and enjoyed it. I like to find solutions to problems so engineering has always come naturally.

Spending time with family, tennis, and mountain biking. I helped start a weekly mountain bike trail ride for kids that has helped improve biking in my local community.
