Favorite Quote:
“The main driving factor has always been to just be, get curious, be the best that you can, push the limits, try and find the best way. My passion has never been about money or having this big empire, it is about doing cool stuff because you know the reaction you get from people, you know when they say things like, "Wow, amazing, you built this stuff?" and that's the best compliment I could possibly get.”
