Mr. Gomez, could you tell us a little bit about your background?

Gomez: Sure. My parents came to the U.S. from Mexico.

My father worked in a machine shop, so I grew up around tools.

I was always good at mathematics, so my parents encouraged me to go to college.

Then I went to graduate school at MIT.
