Brin teamed up with Larry Page at university in 1998 to launch what would become one of the world's most powerful search engines.

[...] Brin earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science at the University of Maryland and a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford. There, his love of high-adrenaline exercise flourished: he tried out skating, skiing, gymnastics, and even trapeze. Brin met Google cofounder Larry Page at Stanford in 1995. The two reportedly found each other "obnoxious" at first, but they later became classmates and close friends who geeked out about computer science.
