Congractulations Chris!!!!

[Collin Fultz]

Congratulations Dad!

In 2001 he cut our spring vacation short to go to Epcot because 234 was competing there. I had some interest in the team, but he was ready to go with FIRST. Three-and-a-half years later he's still just as excited as before. Thanks for getting me excited, too, Dad. And thanks for always staying excited!

Also, Chris has helped bring the Regional Chairman's Award to CyberBlue two years in a row. He helped our Chairman's Committee to effectively know how to comunicate what it was our team did both in the submission and the interview.

His excitement about FIRST has gotten Rolls-Royce excited about FIRST, as well, sponsoring five Indianapolis teams and looking to help more.

Thanks dad, and congratulations.

[Rich Kressly]

Congratulations Chris. I always look forward to reading your posts on critical topics and value your thoughts a great deal. Your role is eerily similar to the role I played with 103 and I have nothing but admiration for your efforts and passion.

[Stu Bloom]

Congrats Chris,

Hope you can get all your young'uns involved so we keep you around for a LOOOOOONNNNNG time!!

[Jessica Boucher]

Chris,
It was a pleasure meeting you this weekend. From what Ive heard about you, you've done a ton for the area, and the rest of the country should take notice. This should only be a start, since I think we could wicked* learn a ton of great stuff from you!!

*added to infuriate the midwesterners. ;)

[Ryan Dognaux]

Chris - You've done so much for 234 and FIRST - Thank you. You deserve this for the countless hours of dedication and hard work you've put into our team. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be where we are right now as a team.

Congratulations :]

[Josh Hambright]

Congradulations chris. You are truely an asset to First especialy to all of us in the state of indiana. I tip my mohawk to you sir.

[Libby Ritchie]

Congrats, Chris!! A well deserved honor, I must say. You are a driving force of team 234 and I must say you are helping us on team 393 as well! Thank you for all you do!

[Chris Fultz]

Thanks Colllin, for the nomination. That by itself means a lot.

Thanks to the UFH team for the selection.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments, as well.

After a weekend of IRI, I am further convinced how great this thing called FIRST is. great students, great mentors, great alumni. I am proud to be a part of it and hope to be for a long, long time.

Thanks -

Na, too small, only seats two people, and not very comfortably at that!

I looking for something with 2 aisles* to have room for the Band, roadies and groupies!

*translation - 747, DC10, L1011, Airbus A-whatever that seats 900.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Congrats,Chris!
I look forward to working with you in the future, it was a great time at IRI. There is nothing like having someone with a cool head working as your roadie on a show like the IRI Talent Show. I see good things for Rolls Royce in the future. Keep up the good work.

What can I say about Mr. Fultz... Chris is a guy who is full of air, in more than one way... My first memory of Chris is from after the kickoff for the 2002 season. He had this idea to suck the balls up with a vaccume and turbine engine (as he works at Rolls-Royce). He wouldn't ever give up on this crazy idea. He had a passion to get his idea across and even made some prototypes and spent much of his time at work trying to get his idea to work. In the end, we ended up not using his idea (what a surprise :p).

Chris joined the team (234) the year after our most successful year in FIRST. Chris was able to turn a team that was headed by basically 2 teachers and a few engineers into a corporation. Team 234 now uses many of the same exact company procedures that Rolls-Royce does.

Because of Chris, I now work at Rolls-Royce Corporation (http://www.rolls-royce.com). He got me my first job there as a data-entry wizzard for over a year. I then ended that job and was out of work for nearly 2 months until he called me up last August asking if I wanted a job to create a event tracking system for one of the helicopter programs. I was kind-of hesitant to take the job because I have never created a database in my life. I then took the job and I have not regretted it since. I was/ am the lead consultant/ administrator of an extensive web based event tracking database system. I have had the opportunity to work with some awesome people and have learned a lot about how real corporate life is, both bad and good. I have a secure job at Rolls-Royce that will last for quite a while as I also attend college, full-time, studying Informatics (http://informatics.iupui.edu) and New Media (http://newmedia.iupui.edu).

I have learned a lot from Chris and I believe I am on a path to future success. Chris, I thank you for all the opportunities you have given me and I know that we will continue to work together in the future.

Chris Fultz, I salute you.
