Why I "do" ECE

I found ECE the same way you may find your way home when the thoughts of the day steal your consciousness at the wheel, with your attention finally snapping back along with the deadbolt of the front door. I've driven through life with ever-evolving aspirations and new goals grabbing my immediate attention, yet I've landed in a field which I love; I am now fully immersed in "doing" ECE. While it often appears that ECE has chosen *me* rather than the reverse, I do not mean to suggest that fate has directed me as a pawn to an area of study by nothing but chance; I simply mean that 28 years of discovery in no particular direction has a strange and lovely way of steering you to where you truly belong.

A very early discovery was my love and aptitude for mathematics. Its certainty and freeness

And without even knowing, I had chosen my future.
