Who am I?

I am a freshman studying mechanical engineering at Auburn University. I love imagination, innovation, and creation in all their forms. My interests are nearly as varied as time is limited, and I live my life desperately trying to follow all of them and learn everything.

In my free time, when I'm not obsessively working on some project or another, I enjoy reading, watching anime, playing video games, and failing spectacularly at any and every martial art. I also adore adventure and the outdoors. But more than anything, I love learning about, participating in, or discovering something new and exciting.

What are my Goals?

In the long term I want to help bring airships back to the world, because they look extremely whimsical and they can be efficient without requiring large infrastructure like roads or railroads. At this moment I am trying to expand my skills and knowledge in any direction I can because I have no idea what may help me in the future. For what I'm currently working on please view my projects page.

What is my Philosophy?

It is my firm belief that the job of an engineer is to force dreams into reality in much the same way that artists capture and share them. Imagination and dreams are the core of life and innovation, to abandon them is a most terrible sin.

It is also my personal philosophy that live should be lived intensely and obsessively. Only drifting through passing interests is far to boring if I find something that I want to do I will do it with my all of myself and with as much intensity as my mind and body can muster.
