Pursuing my Doctorate of Engineering while working full time for the US Army’s Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC)

I got married (to the sister of a fellow Alma Scot) and raised a Husky puppy! I actually met my wife while on a pub-crawl with Tony Rosenblum (2008) before a Lions game.

I still keep in touch with many of my close friends and Sigma Chi brothers from Alma. A group of us have been attending hockey games once a month together since graduation. We started with four in the group, and we have almost tripled since then.

One of my favorite things to do is look up Alma grads while on vacations or in-between work trips and catch up (recently Ben Place in Washington DC, Blake Loomis in Atlanta, Adam Muncy in San Diego, Jordan Brown in Chicago, James Kruse in Cleveland).

Taught me how to think critically, make complex problems into simpler ones, and begin to learn how to lead. In my first job out of college at Booz Allen Hamilton I worked on a consulting team with graduates from top tier schools (MIT, Princeton, Georgetown, etc.) and I was seen as an equal.

Run-Outs with my pledge brothers, Spring Terms in Key West, Tennis Trips across Florida, and Radio Shows with my co-host Jamie Diener (especially the time when my parents surprised us by driving up from Farmington and listening in the parking lot)
