My Story

"Don’t make the mistake of thinking the arts and sciences are at odds with one another. That is a recent, stupid, and damaging idea. You don’t have to be unscientific to make beautiful art, to write beautiful things." - Tim Minchin

      I was born in a peaceful town in North Dakota on the 29th of April 1996 to my parents, Brad and Anita. I have always had a wonderment for both art and science as a child and have grown up to find that they are not unequals, rather, they are two sides of the same coin. I find beauty in both the way things are designed and in the purpose they serve. Cars are designed to appeal to all senses and become a work of art not just to get you from location to destination. A fantastic example of this is Ferarri who make their engines sound musically perfect by engineering them to utilize 3rd and 6th harmonics in the air intake. I find this to be both inspiring and supporting to know that you can incorporate art into engineering. That is why I am studying Mechanical Engineering at Florida Tech. I know that when I design something, that it will be appreciated not only because it is useful but also because it is elegant in its form.

      I currently reside in Melbourne, FL and am enrolled at the Florida Institute of Technology. I'm majoring in Mechanical engineering and am also pursuing a minor in Computer Science which I hope will lead me to my dream career in designing recreational and offroad vehicles.
