I grew up in beautiful Southern California in a city called Torrance. I attended South Torrance High School and enjoyed playing sports such as baseball and football. While growing up I spent much of my time working with my father, who is an electrician. During this time I helped to build multiple house and redo many more homes electrical systems. I believe that because of this I discovered at a young age that I wanted to go into engineering. It was not until later that I realized the specific area of engineering I wanted to pursue was civil engineering. The great civil engineering program at Northern Arizona University (NAU) is part of the reason I choose to attend this school. The rest of that choice had to with the amazing location, nestled away in the woods with numerous outdoor activities at your fingertips. I am glad that I choose NAU and am excited to be working on this capstone.
