I'll bite because my life the way it is now is directly related to FIRST.

I joined as a soph in highschool in 1995. I was planning on being a pastry chef. Yes, if you start adding it up, I have now been involved in FIRST for 1/2 of my life!
Junior year, I had a "moment" at 4:00am machining sprokets. For you young folks out there, we weren't allowed to buy metal sprockets, only nylon ones. If you wanted metal you had to make them.

This was when I decided I wanted to be an engineer.

I went to WPI because they had a FIRST team and my mentor went there.

Graduated in 2001 and was hired by the company that sponsored me in high school, my former mentor became my boss.

In 2004 I was on Monster Garage which I will directly attribute to my experience in FIRST because without FIRST I never would have become interested in building cars, nor would I have had the skills to be on the show.

I know work for Black and Decker and with Greg Needel started team 2775 down here in TN last year.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
