Paul Kane, my mentor from HS (team 250).
He's been one of the few teachers that has been in this competition since the very beggining. I value everything he has, and continues to teach me.
Eric O'Brien, my roomate, and co-team leader of 229. When I came to Clarkson, he helped open my eyes to a whole different side of FIRST I just... hadn't noticed in HS. His experiences on 177 were greatly different from mine, and when he shared them with me, I was changed. Although, I'm getting a little sick of hearing about that Bobcat 2001 season

And for introducing me to The man, the myth, the legend... Tom Schindler... knowing Tom... has made me a better person

All the great FIRST mentors and role models I have met. Many of the ones who post here. There are too many to list, and I don't want to leave anyone out. Chance is... if you post on CD, you've had more of an effect on me than you realize.
So thank you!
