Little did I know, the incredible staff here at MPTC had a keen insight that would change the course of my future forever. It was through their guidance and support that I discovered the Engine Research & Development program. With my background in racing, they saw a potential match as an engineering technician that I had never even considered before. From the moment I set foot in that program, I knew I had found the direction I needed.”
