Don't have any heros. I admire a few people, but no heros.

Fixed what?
I could add
Nimitz and Halsey as well as McArtur to the list as well. There is a pattern here.

Richard Feynman. He influences how I approach my job everyday.
My old man. Without his encouragement, I probably wouldn't be doing science.
Terry Ingram. He was a critical adviser to me in my youth, and sadly I'm watching him slip into dementia.

There are many more, but those are a few.
