I was born and raised in Flagstaff, Az, graduating from Coconino High School. I am the sixth child out of eight.  I have a wife and three crazy boys. I was born an engineer with the beginnings starting in the family garage taking apart my fathers power tools with an initial inability to put all the parts back together again.  Engineering has been my passion for as long as I can remember, even if not deemed as engineering. After high school I served a two year mission for my church in Brazil where I grew in my understanding of responsibilities, and also a fluency in the Portuguese language. Upon return from Brazil my sights have been set on a mechanical engineering degree and have not wavered.  I am naturally heads above the rest do to my large stature being one inch short of 7ft.  The joy will come with graduation in May when the drive, work ethic, and love of building can be employed.
