My Hobbies

One hobby I enjoy is inventing prototypes. My most recent project involved converting a Trikke T8 carving vehicle into a (Wake Trike). I made the original design buoyant enough to float in the water, but strong enough to withstand being towed behind a boat. During the process, I was able to get in contact with an employee at Trikke. For the past few months, we have worked together in order to progress the design. This project has taught me a great deal about how to move through the management chain of a company, in order to get in touch with the right people. I also learned a great deal about how patents work, and how not to infringe upon them. Although the prototype needs improvement, I have a lot of fun just being apart of the process.

Favorite Class: My most influential class taken throughout Temple was Legal Studies, with Dr. Hodge. Legal Studies gave me the base to start designing prototypes, with the hope of one day being able to patent my products.
