Nope. I just started working with the team and eventually the powers that be wondered who that guy who was always around was, and ended up getting hired

Cory,
I'm sure its more than that. They probably saw your work and said this guy is at the very least, qualified to work for NASA.
254's product year in and year out is always exceptional.
Interesting info though.
Are there others that went to the academy from the FIRST academy on your team?

We have a current student who was in the academy last year, and a graduated senior who participated in the academy last year, but none who became mentors after participating in the academy.

We seem to attract former students of local teams. The majority of our mentors were not ever associated with Bellarmine or NASA. We have two former members of 100, two from 115, and two from 971, vs only two former 254 members.
