Hi there! My name is Lewis Marshall. I completed my Bachelor's in Materials Science Engineering at Michigan Tech. I previously attended Oxford High School, and have earned an International Baccalaureate Diploma, which gives me an open, analytical and contemplative view of the world.
Making the technology of today accessible to everyone is the best way to bring about peace and prosperity. We're here to help do that!
