Episode 9: Re-engineering Life with Charles Biset
DESCRIPTION
In today’s episode we sat down with the one and only Charles Biset. Charles is a trained aerospace engineer who decided to re-engineer his career and life path to better suit his lifestyle. Charles stepped back from the organized grind of corporate engineering, and now chooses to employ his knowledge and passion for engineering through educating kids in the San Diego area at iFly where he teaches STEM classes.
