Always had a thing for working on stuff. Taking apart my parents vcr back in kindergarden probably started me off. Had 54535254523 lego's back in the day and i'd rather build my own stuff than use the instructions.
In school now for mechanical engineering and loving every minute of it (ok, well not every minute of it. thermo can die if i have anything to say about it).
I always find myself asking 'wonder how that works'.
