Growing up, my parents owned an auto body repair business. Being around auto repair sparked my curiosity of how things worked and held together when subjected to extreme conditions. I also learned the skills of problem-solving when putting things back together. I am fortunate that now I get paid to problem-solve and break things for a living!
