I had the pleasure of working with Allan for four years in the Project Lead the Way program. Allan's dedication, creativity, and teamwork skills will make him the perfect addition to any project. He always applies himself above and beyond for the task at hand. With my experience working with Allan on the Engineering Design & Development capstone project, I wish only the best for him and his future endeavors in the field of engineering!
