Bio: Warren Boudreau is being honored as our fourteenth Unsung FIRST Hero for his amazing efforts as a mentor. Serving as the team leader for #180 SPAM, Warren has lead a successful team and been a great source of guidance for his students. Warren is a helpful and guiding light on the SPAM team, often providing his skills and expertise for the benefit of others.

Warren had a powerful experience that roped him into the FIRST community. "My favorite memory is the first time I walked in to a FIRST competition seven years ago. The atmosphere was electric (no pun intended). Students were running around in face paint and working on the robots. It had all of the excitement of a big high school football game, but everyone was pulling for everyone else. From then on, I was hooked." Warren has also helped out multiple teams at competitions.

Modestly, he lists his team accomplishments. "For me, my biggest accomplishment was herding a group of 50+ cats (a.k.a., students) to the UCF regional and the National Championship. Everything else was a team effort." That is a tough enough job in itself! In his nomination, Warren was credited with always attending FIRST meetings and supporting his team.

Warren also shares a bit of advice for fellow FIRSTers: "Advice for students, stick with it. You are getting a chance to do things that most degreed engineers never do. The things that you learn in FIRST will carry you through your post-high school years. Teamwork, cooperation, and gracious professionalism aren’t just buzzwords. They are real."

Congratulations to Warren Boudreau, an amazing mentor, outstanding FIRSTer, and our fourteenth Unsung FIRST Hero.

Warren,

For my part, I'd like to say, "Thank you."

Thank you for showing a wise-cracking, senior football player that you can have fun doing things other than sports.

Thank you for turning an immature "tweener" into a full-fledged mentor.

Thank you for helping a confused high school graduate realize what he wanted to do with his life (working with high schoolers... not that boring engineer stuff ;-]).

Finally, thank you for inspiring me and being a great friend all these years.

Thanks and congrats!

Congrats! SPAM is a great team full of class acts and a blast to be around. You've obviously done a wonderful job! Hope my team will one day be as great as 180 is now.

[A. Leese]

Congrats, Warren! You more than deserve this. As I've told you before, you are one the main reasons I got into engineering. You showed me that engineering can be a total blast. I couldn't help but catch your enthusiast spirit! Congrats again!
