"My involvement with SAE began when I was in graduate school. I became a student member in 2003 so that I could attend the SAE World Congress (it wasn’t WCX then) – and attend technical sessions. Even from the first event, I was hooked on SAE and my membership allowed me to create a vast network of automotive professionals."

"The ability to give back and help develop future engineers gives me a lot of joy and constantly renews my faith in the next generation of engineers in the pipeline. Personally, I have made many lifelong friends.  I enjoy being able to continue my involvement as a retired engineer, I can still be active and make a difference in SAE."

Every time, I learn something new along with my students and that is the greatest benefit to me. This is one the greatest program for students."
