Who do you emulate?

This is tough, since many of the people I really want to be like I haven't officially met IRL face to face.

So the one person I can think of I've met face to face is the California FRC director, Jim Beck.

Jim has many traits I admire, but the one trait I really look up to him for is his dedication to FRC and the FRC community. If there is a robot event, Jim is there. Whether it's a regional, an offseason event, or even a small pre-season workshop put on by a local team to help the close by teams, Mr. Beck is there and ready to share his knowledge. His life passion is to better FRC, and make it a great place, and he's spent all of his time in FIRST doing exactly that. He worked hard to get a regional in Central Valley this year, as well as a few new regionals in the coming years. When faced with the challenge of accommodating all of the new teams in California, he went right to work, wasting no second to do anything but help the teams. He's always available to talk, and will always put aside something he's working on to answer your question about which teams to talk to to learn a lot from.

I apologize for the near long essay, but Jim is just that awesome.

Marc Braun (3176).
Easily the most gregarious, easygoing person I've met. He'll not only stop you in your tracks and talk your ears off about his latest interest, but get you excited about it as well. His ability to network, to gain and retain friends, is unparalleled. Not afraid to ask for everything, and he usually got it. Boundless energy, and heart to match. A powerful warrior to have on your side.
Those are the qualities I choose to remember about Marc. Rest in Peace, my friend.
