What are your current job responsibilities?

As of the 1st of the year I am working in the Plant Engineering department at UPS. I supervise a team of engineers and mechanics in maintaining a 1.9 million sq. ft. fully mechanically automated facility.

What is your most memorable moment from your days as an NIU student?

My most memorable moment is presenting our senior design project; a robotic arm. And, yes it actually worked! My group anticipated only our advisor and professor to attend, but surprisingly all our friends from CEET and other colleges showed up for our presentation and to show their support. It made the moment unforgettable.

What advice could you give to current CEET students and soon to be CEET graduates?

Take advantage of all opportunities, even if they (i.e. a job) do not seem glamorous at first.

What is your favorite ETAS event?

Social events/gatherings.

Given the following choices, where would your college friends say you spent more time?

a) Founders Memorial Library
b) Student Recreation Center
c) Molly's?
d) Other

My answer has to be D - The Engineering Building. I spent most of my time on the 3rd floor right outside the engineering library. Although I must admit I was studying only half the time up there. The other half went to socializing with my group of friends!
