Sam Wurzel - Company Founder
Sam first became interested in Physics as a result of having some great math and science teachers who turned him on to describing the natural world with physics and mathematics. He says, "I'm still amazed that you can describe things in the world using math."
Sam feels that his Physics background helps him in his work at Octopart. "Studying physics has prepared me extremely well for my career, " he says. "When we started working on Octopart, none of us had done any real web programming and we didn't know what a database was. But having studied Physics, and especially having worked in an experimental physics lab, provided us with a great foundation for jumping into technical fields that we knew nothing about."
