| Hi, my name is Carolyn B, and I've been mentoring with the Bees for 5 years, after joining the team as a senior. In my spare time I like to play softball, paint pottery, and read. My favorite shows are Modern Family, Cash Cab, and M*A*S*H. My favorite car is the Millenium Falcon, and I would be sorted into Hufflepuff if Harry Potter was real. |

| Hello! My name is Christina A., but some people call me Ms. Frizzle or Tina. This is my first year as a Killer Bee mentor.
I graduated from Kettering University and am currently working on a Master's Degree at Wayne State University. I like to crochet blankets in my spare time. My favorite TV shows are Dr. G, Forensic Files, Medium, Fringe and The Ghost Whisperer.
If I could talk to any person, dead or alive for 30 minutes, I would choose my Grandma, Dolores D'Agnese because she passed away long before I was born. I was always told that I am a lot like her.
My favorite shop tool is the big orange hammer.
I was first introduced to it when I saw it being used on the soccer ball kicker machine.
I would never sky dive, even if I
were paid to do it because I am terrified of heights and falling. My favorite car is the Chevrolet Camaro. |

| Hi, my name is Dr. James D. I've been a mentor for the Bees for three years. My favorite movies and TV shows are mostly sci-fis, and my favorite bands are Muse, Nine Inch Nails, and Finger Eleven.
If I could talk to anyone for thirty minutes, I'd choose Stephen Hawking. My favorite equation is E=MC2. |

| Hi, I'm Eric, I've mentored with the Bees for one year, but I was previously on the team as a student for all four years of high school. I'm currently studying at Kettering University, and I hope to major in both mechanical and electrical engineering, mainly because of my love for robotics! I also work at Hi-Lex Controls, and have for four years. My hobbies include obviously robotics and radio-control cars. If I could travel anywhere, I would travel to Mexico. |

| Hi, my name is Issac Rife, and I've mentored with the Bees for 6 years. I got involved in FIRST when I first saw a robot - and got hooked. My favorite quote is "Good enough seldom is." I currently work at BAE Systems, but I worked at Chrysler for eight years before that. My hobbies include racing, and one of my interests is antique farm machinery. My favorite tool is the welder, and if I could talk to any one person, it would be Nikola Tesla. |

| Hi, I'm Jim Zondag. I've been mentoring for the Bees since 1997, when somebody showed me a robot and I was instantly hooked. I work at Chrysler as an engineer, but my hobbies outside of work are robotics, robotics...and robotics! My favorite car is the Dodge Challenger SRT8, and if I could, I would travel to Alpha Centauri. If I could be on any magazine cover, it would be Scientific American. |

| Hi, I'm Tim Grogan, the "Imperial Emperor" for Team #33. I've been with the Bees for 15 years. My favorite TV show is NCIS, my favorite movie is Casablanca, and my favorite band is Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. My favorite mystical creature is El Chupacabra. I would travel, if I could, to Iceland for two weeks of hiking. FIRST has influenced me by showing me that working with high-school students keeps me pleasantly insane. |
