I knew from around the age of ten that I wanted to build a car company. Cars fascinated me from an early age, and I spent a lot of time working on engines and rebuilding vehicles. After studying mechanical engineering and completing my PhD, I decided to pursue the vision directly and started Rivian the very next day.
