WorkHard6'4" and 200 lbs of pure determination.Getting my hands on a project allows me to show people how I can think critically and outside of the box. There are so many ways to accomplish a goal, I just tend to see and communicate the patterns a little clearer.Whether I'm building a circuit, designing a crucial piece of code, or producing a video I make sure to take charge while being open to everyone's thoughts and opinions.In life I've learned that teamwork and communication is the key to a successful project.
PlayHardMaking an impression is a difficult thing to do in life, but if you know the path it can be as easy as saying hello.I use the resources I'm given to utilize them to benefit those around me. As seen above, there's no point in being able to make something great happen, and not doing so. Enjoying my time with those around me is just as important as the accomplishments made with those people.Living life is only worth it if you're loving it. - BUT WAIT, THERE'S MOREIt's enough already, but I go beyond
