I have always found math and science very interesting. I have enjoyed being able to use those concepts and tools in engineering to investigate mechanical systems, design tools, and solve problems. I would never have predicted, as a youth, that I would be working with baseball bats and other sporting equipment. It is great to be able to solve problems with products that are widely used.
