But my passion lay in math.

It was just my thing.

You know, I finally sat down with my dad and said, yeah, not going to cut people

open for a living. What I'd like to be as an engineer. And then I moved around a bit between, I love chemistry, so I

toggled between computer science and chemical engineering as a, is where I wanted to be for a little bit, but I just
