When you tell Atom how much of an achiever he is, this self-effacing guy is quick to put everything in perspective. “It’s not really because I’m such an achiever, it was because I was fortunate enough to experience a lot of things as a kid and I was exposed to a lot of different opportunities. A big part of it is really luck and another part of it is my attitude. I actually look for those different opportunities. I don’t back away from them because I really want to keep exploring my surroundings and discover new things.”
