Hi, I’m Seth Chavez! I was born in Colorado Springs and have grown up in New Mexico. Living in the arid Southwest, and as someone passionate about the outdoors, I love spending my time running or mountain biking, whether it be a marathon or a 6-hour bike ride. My innate drive to learn, build, and understand the natural world, combined with my concerns about climate change, have fueled my passion to study mechanical engineering solutions to protect the environment.
