Yay... An end to the rumors. You should show her this thread, and see what her reaction is. I know if a whole community of FIRSTers got all excited about seeing me on TV, I would think it was cool.

Holy Cow you guys are attentive!!

Jeez...I just happened to stumble upon this and I'm flattered!

lol, no really...Yes, you are all pretty much correct

I'm an engineer, I'm from manchester NH, I went to WPI, I work for Intelitek, I'm a mentor for team #40 the Trinity Pioneers, I have participated in FIRST since 95.
I actually submitted all kinds of cool FIRST video and stuff for my bio, but they chose to use only my racing backround, since the challenge was a racecar.

I also couldn't wear our team shirt (which i had planned on) cuz the past couple of years our shirts have been red or white, both colors you're not allowed to wear during a build because they don't show up well on the cameras.

If you guys have any more questions fire away...now that I've found the posting I'll try to keep up and reply!

whats Jesse James like?? is he as tough off camera as he is on? spill the beans cmon!!!

[gren737]

lol, the 1 word to describe jesse is clown

he's not any of the badass they make him look like on tv, he's super nice, and ALWAYS goofing off...lighting stuff on fire, throwing fireworks at people, throwing things at the cameras, making redneck mullet jokes....he did very little work even though he was there most of the time. which was fine the cuz team really gelled together and we had everything under control at all times.
it was really fun to work with him and he'd stop to help out anytime we asked...weld stuff, give an opinion , whatever. i was kinda afraid going out there about what he'd be like and he's just a guy loving life and trying to have as much fun as possible.

[RogerR]

[ahecht]

Music??

[gren737]

music...and very bad music at that. at least nothing that suits my tastes it's all like heavy metal and just weird junk....i dunno....i think some of the bands on the cd are bands that have played at the monster garage too...

however, jesse has pretty good taste in music...as soon as he'd come in he'd blast some punk or blues....lots of social distortion and jonny cash, sex pistols...good stuff

[K.Shaw]

come on now......theres one good track on that CD.....a hem
