UFH: Mark Breadner

[Karthik]

I've known Mr. B. (or Mark Breadner as you all know him) since I was a spoiled brat in High School back in the pre-188 days. The impact he has had on FIRST in Canada has been nothing short of immense. His efforts and dedication have turned Canada into the fastest growing region in FIRST. Mr. B. has a true passion for all things FIRST related. His spirit is simply put inspiring.

On a personal note, FIRST has made a major positive impact in my life, all the way from high school to my time at GM. None of that would have been possible without you. Thank you.

Congratulations to my mentor and friend, Mark Breadner on a well deserved honour.

Even though I dont really know you, I read, and understand that you are a great person, Congractulations

Mr. B is most definitely deserving. Quite simply, he's done more for the expansion of FIRST than any mentor that I know of, and is responsible in some way for the creation of dozens of teams. Ever since he left 188 to head FIRST in Canada I've seen him maybe four times without a FIRST-related article of clothing on. Congratulations Breadnahhhhhhhhh!!

Edit: I would argue his signature quote should really be "ugly may win," which refers to robot design.

Mark, thank you for setting up the most awesome regional in the world. Our team is humbled to go each year and compete. I hope you continue your work for FIRST. So far it's been great. See you next year.

And don't call me monsieurcoffee in real life again!
