Who
Am I?
My name is Vivek Menezes, and I am currently a Project Engineer at Hamon Research-Cottrell , a company that designs and supplies Air Pollution Contol equipment to the Power, Petrochemical and other industries. Before I started work here in October 2002, I completed my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Management at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken,
New Jersey.
I am a brother of the Iota chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa. Before coming to the United States, I lived
in Lagos, Nigeria for two and a half years. While I was there, I studied at the
Indian Language School. I graduated from there in March 1997.
Going back even further in time, I lived in
Pune, India until the summer of 1995 when I moved to Lagos, with a brief
interlude in Calcutta, India around 1985-86. In Pune, I studied at St. Vincent's High School.. There are a large number of Vincentians listed at Batchmates.com - check it out.
I am a keen sportsman and a soccer fanatic. I also play basketball, tennis and field hockey. I was Co-Captain of the Stevens Tech varsity tennis team. I have just taken up golf, but am a long ways from being near competitive. o:p>
Music
is another of my great interests. I play the guitar and used to play the
trombone in the marching band at ILS. ILS is also where I played as part of a
pop/rock band - The Renegades. Anyone who has been to our 3rd rear
room parties knows that we love to listen to good old 80�s rock. And yes, we
are probably going to be playing Breakfast At Tiffany's at 3am on any given
weekend . If you like 80's rock, and can gulp down rum and cokes like it is
going out of style, let me know and we can arrange a little get togehter =).
A lot is going to be happening in the next
few months, check back in a couple for the latest dirt =).
I think that about covers it. If you'd like
to learn more about me, email me at:
I
am also available on AIM where my
screen-name is Areaboy13 and on MSN Messenger, where my username is timepassmenace.
I promise to reply eventually =P
