Who is Ben Mize?

Hello there!

I am an adventure-seeking undergraduate studying mechanical engineering with a hunger for developing new technologies. I love spending time on personal projects and solving problems in new ways, both out of necessity and oftentimes curiosity.

Born and raised in a Houston suburb for 18 years, I was ready for something new going into college, and Illinois is where I landed! I dove head first into the new experience of studying out-of-state, and I have been loving it. Getting to experince new parts of the world is one of my greatest pleasures, and I aspire to continue this trend as I look for work and internships.

I also have an itch for entrepreneurship, and have started 2 small businesses. I am planning to pursue a business minor as a part of my undergraduate studies, and love understanding how money makes the world go round and intersects engineering and technology in countless ways.
