epiphany!

I never had an Idea of what I wanted to do exactly. I had a great idea today. I was thinking about climbing (go figure) and I thought about trad gear and who designs it. I researched job opportunities for Black Diamond and found one that fits my mechanical engineering major. Quality Assurance Engineer. I emailed Black Diamond about internship opportunities today and am excited.
