Doing my part to build a brighter tomorrow

Hey there, my name is Blake Noffsinger. I am a freshman attending Front Range Community College, going for a General Engineering AES degree to transfer to the Colorado School of Mines. I am originally from Denver, CO growing up in the Westminster Area, where I’ve been an engineering student my entire life. Growing up in a family of engineers and tradesmen gave me a unique insight into my future aspirations of becoming a Mechanical Engineer. I attended high school at Northglenn High School for one year but dropped out as a sophomore due to health issues. I spent three years battling those issues, then got my General Education Degree in April of 2022. One month later, I enrolled in FRCC’s AES program to try and get my life back on track. Since then, I haven’t looked back. I have recently been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. With my eyes set on the future, I am excited to earn my degree in mechanical engineering!
