About Me

I was in the top 10 in my class at an engineering magnet High School and then went on to graduate with a Bachelors of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Florida in 2016. After leaving college, I immediately took a position for a software development company where I have been a QA analyst for over 3 years now. My end goal career wise is to one day be a Disney Imagineer with a focus on robotics and animatronics. My Honors Thesis was the proposition of Sensory Relief rooms to be implemented throughout the Disney parks to provide much needed respite to those suffering from disorders on the Autism Spectrum and more specifically, Sensory Processing Disorder. In essence, while my passion is engineering, I am unafraid of expanding my horizons and exploring fields such as mental health, software coding, and any other challenge that will further my education. Regarding my views on education. Without the next generation taking an active approach towards learning, what we do now will be for nothing. We cannot expect the up and coming generations to go without the wisdom and learning of the generations before, particularly from our mistakes and follies. Only with dedicated support and faith in their abilities can the students of today become the great minds of tomorrow. Thereby, I hope that I might be able to inspire whomever I can to value learning and the understanding of the world around us. But a little about my holistic self, however, and I must admit I am an avid fan of video games, notably the Fallout and Call of Duty franchises. And for those curious, I'm dedicated to Sony and the PlayStation (sorry PC or Xbox gamers). I also enjoy soccer, table top role-playing, paint ball, and horror movies (especially the awful ones). My wife and I, together, enjoy trips to Disney World whenever possible. In addition, my apartment is filled with various critters, ranging from contained millipedes and snails to our adorably timid dog, Dixie.
