I do this because one day at school, I saw a poster about this "robotics team" that went to Disney World to compete, and I went to a meeting. It was a short meeting, one I'm not even sure lasted 15 minutes, but right then and there I was hooked, and I never looked back.

I do it for the great stories and experiences its given me, and the joy of sharing them with new friends and a new generation of kids just like I was then.
I do this for the challenge of solving an incredible design problem, and the magic and thrill of the competition.
I do this because of all the amazing people I've met along the way, some I am proud to call my closest friends and greatest role models.
I do this to see the light in one of my students' eyes when they finally "get it".

I do this to give something back in return for all the opportunities it has given me, and taken me to a place and a career I love and would have never dreamed I'd be in.
