This year’s Top Young Professionals from the New England region include mechanical, structural and pavement material engineers, a financial innovator and a health care renovation expert. Working for industry employers from Connecticut to Maine, some winners remember setting a career path in childhood, while others recall a professional opportunity that opened a door, and at least one reveals a unique passion that led him to become an entrepreneur.
