Hello My Name Is...

Darrell Fortune

My engineering career has given me the opportunity to work in various places and accrue a wide variety of experiences, from building oil rigs in the Persian Gulf, designing bridges in the swamps of Florida, to constructing tracking solar farm for Apple in Claremont. As much as I have enjoyed engineering, my passion has also been to teach and impact the lives of children in my community. As a father of two boys, I have had more opportunities to do this through participation in their scout troupe, coaching various team sports and serving as one of the leaders for children’s classes at church. What I have come to realize is that the reward received for a completed project pales in comparison to the light I see in a child's eye when I am able to foster that connection and ultimately help them learn something new.
