Like any good engineer, Peter loves solving challenging problems. And conversely, hates working on boring problems. When one of his former employers presented him with one (that was going to take 3 years…all of which would be soul-sucking drudgery) he engineered a solution around it that allowed him to finish in 3 months. Hear his story as we dive into automation, entrepreneurship, fuel cells and more in this episode of Being An Engineer. Also check out his company The 3D Connectors.

Update: I made a mistake on the status of Peter’s MBA when stating he already has it; Peter is in the process of finishing his MBA.
