The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

Commissioned as a US Navy officer. Attended Navy's Dive School and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) school. Served as EOD officer, completing two deployments to Iraq. Also served as officer-in-charge of EOD shore detachment, responsible for local/base response, training and readiness, and served as a liaison to multiple agencies. My favorite memories of Penn State include the experiences with Navy ROTC - physical training sessions, social gatherings, sailing competitions, and friendships. In addition, my membership in the PSU Triathlon club was amazing. I was exposed to incredible athletes, and we pushed each other. The trip to Claremont, FL for a triathlon was a great road trip, and a challenging race. There are many more memories than I can include in this summary. I had an awesome time while attending PSU!
