Machines and how they work have always fascinated me. Ever since I was a small boy, the thought of understanding what made things work intrigued me, and there was always a desire to learn and understand more. Enrolling at Temple University opened the door to dive deep into what had always been a keen interest, but instead of just thoughts and ideas it was now numbers and projects and research.Whilst working to understand the intricacies of everything that helps with day-to-day life, I have devoted the remaining time to the pursuit of speed. Crew has been a key part of my life since turning 13; teamwork, dedication, communication, and hard work are key aspects of the sport. There is no success without a combination of the four, and so as Captain of the team I strive to set the best example possible so that we can aim higher than before.
