My wife Elizabeth and I first learned about engineering while
participating in a Summer Engineering Workshop while in high
school. I started with Minority Introduction To Engineering
(MITE) and now I am blessed to be CEO of McDonalds, USA.
Please join us in providing contin-
ued support for these programs and
the students that they serve. Your
