Extra Curricular Activities: I have an hour long show at the University’s radio station (WUMD). I also work in the Sun lab inside of the engineering building helping users who are unfamiliar with UNIX.

Hobbies: I love to read about current affairs and the newest political spin. Recently I have taken up cooking with earnest and am quite proud at some of my more recent culinary achievements. I am willing to make time to golf with friends whenever possible.

Why did you choose UM-D: I was drawn in by the prestigious Michigan name without the hassles of a humongous campus and classrooms with 300 students in attendance. I was sold by the campus’ proximity to my brother’s house.

What is your greatest college experience: I will always cherish the first day of school. Although it came as the result of the end of my military career, it signaled the start of a new and exciting chapter in my life.

What is your favorite thing about UM-D: Opportunities for one on one interaction with the professors. The reasonable classroom sizes are conducive to professional relationships between the student and the instructor being developed.

Do you know what you want to do after college yet: Absolutely! If it is a matter of want, then I want a mansion and a yacht. More than likely I will head back to left coast and pursue a career with the Department of Defense, or as a Defense contractor. I miss the structure of the Marine Corps.

What makes you YOU: Loyalty, patriotism, a bad haircut and a crooked smile. I love the Marine Corps and I love my friends. Although I am older than the typical college student I am intrigued by the college experience. To know me is to love me. Duplicity stops here. Semper Fi!
