Favorite activity outside of formula? Why?
I’d have to say my favorite thing to do outside of formula is play hockey. I’ve played competitive hockey for about 12 years up until I got to college and I love to get back on the ice with a few buddies any chance I get.
Why the Michigan State Formula Racing Team?
I joined the team my freshman year after looking for a way to become more involved in engineering outside of school and it went along great with my love for cars. It didn’t take long after that before I was hooked.
Past Internships (Company, Year, Role)
Pittsburg Glass Works, 2014, Product Engineering Intern
What do you want to do after college?
My plans for after college are to work in the racing industry for a few years. I love the fast paced atmosphere of formula and I’d like to continue to do it once I get out of college. After that, my plan is to move into either the automotive or aerospace industry.
