He is pursuing a major in Mechanical Engineering and minors in Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Mathematics. Raised in Ruston, Louisiana, Noah is pursuing his degree in his hometown. Noah hopes to work as a design engineer for a firearms company after graduating, specializing in mechanical design and prototyping.</span></span>

He has also been a part of an entrepreneurial team focused on creating a ground-breaking product (AML). The “AML” team has participated in four idea pitch competitions and has two second place trophies from those events in only 8 months time. One of those trophies (and prize money) was won at a product pitch that had 88 competing teams. Noah’s role on that team primarily consists of designing and 3D printing usable prototypes to learn what works, and what will not. </span></span>
