Hey! Thanks for checking out my profile! It's greatly appreciated.

Born in Toronto, raised in Toronto, schooled in Toronto and a graduate of the University of Toronto where I received my Bachelor of Applied Science and Engineering in Mechanical Engineering. It's really a broad area so I specifically focused my studies in material science and sustainable energy. After graduating school and gaining experience in product manufacturing, I decided to pursue certification in Lean Six Sigma and Supply Chain Management.

Currently, I work at Molson Coors Canada as a Quality Control Intern. The usual response I get is "...so you went to school for engineering, and now you make beer". Well, i guess but I don't really make beer. I'm the guy sitting behind the desk analyzing the numbers. It's a really interesting industry to experience, but I have to admit when I was studying in school I never thought I would be working in a brewery.

I've moved industries in the past few years, quite often for a newly 24 year old. I've been in the metal fabrication industry, solar industry, the beer industry, and vehicle design. Some people believe moving around from industry to industry gives the impression that a person is indecisive. This may be true for some, but I just enjoy gaining new knowledge and new skills in areas I don't know. I simply enjoy learning, specifically not from a textbook. There's a lot more to know about me, (see what I did there), but I thought I'd keep in simple.

Right, that's the face of a relieved man after his Engineering Valedictorian Speech.
