Dan is a freshman studying Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University and a lifelong baseball fan and player. Hailing from New York, his allegiance is to the Yankees, but luckily the engineering behind a wood bat is the same for all teams. The pairing of two of his passions, science and sports is a field that he is greatly interested in and looks forward to exploring more deeply in this project.
