What “lesson from mom” do you still live by today?

I grew up watching my parents work as hard as they possibly could to improve our lives and give us the best opportunities. I have always admired their dedication, drive, and sense of purpose. Because of my parents’ example, I strive to push myself toward new experiences and achievements every day.

What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon?

I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors, so you’d most likely find me on the side of a mountain somewhere, hiking or just exploring. I can’t get enough fresh air, and there’s always something new to see when you’re out there.

If you weren’t doing what you do today, what other job would you have?

If I weren’t an engineer I would most likely be a mechanic. I love working with my hands and have long been interested in cars; in fact, prior to joining GUNN, my previous job was working with cars. I still like to get a little engine grease on my hands in my spare time.
