I was born and raised in Chardon, Ohio located in Northeast Ohio just about 45 minutes east of Cleveland. I played football in high school, ensuring that I became a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan and that I was always team-oriented. An obsession with models and construction as a child led to a fascination with the mechanics of all machines and tools, large or small. Hoping to create a positive impact on the world has led me to pursue Agricultural Engineering at The Ohio State University where I know I can learn the skills to work on machinery systems in an effort to improve the functionality and productivity of such devices.
