Who I AM

My name is Ronen Retzlaff. I am an Outdoor Products Major and an Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor. I have spent my whole life participating in sports outside. These include team sports like soccer and lacrosse. I played soccer at a very high level and have been the captain of the community college club team for the last 2 years. As for individual sports, my dad introduced me to the world of extreme sports early in life. I now love to snowboard, kiteboard, mountain bike, and others. I also love the automotive world, as you can see from one of my projects, the Speed Triple.

Throughout my time doing and competing in these sports, I have grown to enjoy them in a new sense, not the child-like enjoyment. They are a part of me now, and bring me joy and fulfillment that not a lot of other things do. I hope you can see that fulfillment in the works you see in the projects section!
