As a young and eager engineer, I was allowed to work under Jim Ballew. Jim designed countless HPC systems over the years. He worked side by side with great people from Cray, Silicon Graphics, Convex and Compaq. Most recently, he was CTO at Appro. I learned more from Jim in six months than I did in several years of undergraduate coursework. It was absolutely a pleasure to work him. I encourage all young engineers to find a capable mentor. Aside from guidance, they provide you a creative outlet for which to vent your thoughts. I definitely second this motion. As a young and eager engineer, I was allowed to work under Jim Ballew.
