| Highlights / Accomplishments:I was attending USC when I met the woman that has changed my life. We married in October of 1985. My first son was born in March of 1987, just before I graduated in May with a degree in Computer Engineering (just in time!) I took an engineering job in Orlando, Florida with the Defense Department developing training simulators for the military (think really expensive video games). Living in Orlando was wonderful. I was able to raise my two boys in suburbia. We loved going to the beach and all of the theme parks as well (reminded me of all those band trips to Disney). I have taught them all I know about playing the trumpet and soccer, even tried coaching a few seasons. I couldn�t be any prouder of them. Somehow, I also found time to get my Masters Degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Central Florida, in December 1999. Through the years, my job has taken me all over the US, Japan, and Europe. In November 2001, I took a 3-year position here in Heidelberg, Germany. I am looking forward to traveling with my family, exploring other parts of the world and exposing them to different cultures. Then, it�s back to Orlando! Overall, life�s been good �Looking back, I do miss the close friendships I had at Irmo. Having gone to school there since the 3rd grade, I did get to know most of you! Sorry we lost touch. If anyone wants to drop me a line, I would love to hear from you. |
