My Story

What a great day this was. I had not anticipated that I would be presenting to such a large class, but I happily accepted the challenge of speaking to a large group. In fact, November 29 was the day I discovered that I was not afraid of large groups of people.

I presented the development and progression of M-Wrap from a senior design project to a more viable seed for a start up. The class of 150 students was receptive and I hope that my presentation encouraged them to take their projects outside the realm of the classroom. I believe that entrepreneurship is a skill that puts engineers at an advantage if it is something they pursue. The University of Michigan's College of Engineering is currently working to encourage entrepreneurship in their engineers.
