Ryan Brown

King Phillip Regional High School

“I competed in SEOR my freshmen year and placed 4th at ICDC, just missing glass. However, my partner and I redeemed ourselves sophomore year by placing 1st in HTOR! My favorite memory is being with my friends at ICDC. It is great to be surrounded by inspiring and motivating people. To win glass, you must have a good connection with the company (only applies to Operations Research projects).”

What would you want to tell younger members?

“To be successful, you have to love your project. You need to be obsessed. Try to do things no other team will do!!”
