Education: Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering – Colorado State University

Background: I am 23 years old and currently in my final year of school at CSU. I have lived my whole life in Colorado and grew up in Evergreen. I became interested in mechanical engineering when I was a sophomore in high school and noticed someone riding a cruiser bike with a mounted engine attached. I thought this idea of a motorized bicycle was genius, and so I began writing down my own ideas that have never been created. I eventually would like to start my very own engineering firm and build unique inventions that have an everlasting impact on the world.
