Go-to Starbucks drink: Large coffee. I guess they call it Venti. Nothing fancy.
Most obscure mode of transportation you have used: Camel cart. I used to ride it as a kid sometimes with my mother when she had to take us to her school in Rural parts of North-West India. If a movie were made about your life, who would play you? Why? Amitabh Bachhan. No particular reason but he is my favorite Indian movie star. Why do you love transportation? I keep finding new reasons to love it. As of right now it's the Cal Poly ITE student chapter. And I am not just saying that. |

Go-to Starbucks drink: Salted caramel hot chocolate
Most obscure mode of transportation you have used: Funicular (the Victoria Peak Tram in Hong Kong) If a movie were made about your life, who would play you? Why? Claire Danes. She's a really good actress. She could play anyone. Why do you love transportation? I just love to geek out about all the hidden processes that make our cities work and literally keep things moving. I also believe really strongly in the role transportation can play in allowing all people to have equal access to fully participate in their communities. |

Go-to Starbucks drink: Philz Ecstatic, because it means I'm not at Starbucks.
Most obscure mode of transportation you have used: The zany hands-free Segway hoverboard thingy my daughter sometimes lets me borrow. If a movie were made about your life, who would play you? Why? Bryce Dallas Howard, for allowing and equipping her kids to be self-sufficient. Why do you love transportation? It's an everyday part of life that also happens to be a groovy engineering profession. |
