Hello! My name is Nathaniel Picard and I attend the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Dartmouth, MA where I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering.

My interest in engineering started when I was young and just wanted to know how anything was made, designed and built. My father was big into NASCAR which which caused me to be big into cars and design. So when I was in the cub scouts, I really enjoyed the pine wood derby car design and building more than the actual competition. Later into boy scouts, I designed a pine wood derby car that was actually powered by an electric motor with a switch to turn it off and on.

So senior year I bought a 2014 Dodge Charger pursuit with a 5.7 hemi and all wheel drive. And I have been keeping it running and upgrading it with a cat back exhaust, cold air intake, and 1 3/4 inch shorty headers. I have also done some repairs along the way to keep it running as well as my parents and friends vehicles.
