The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

My wife and I are both graduates of Penn State. Our two daughters are Amy and Lisa. Amy is our older daughter and is a chemical engineering graduate from Penn State with graduate degrees from Lehigh. She is married to Brian who is a chemical engineer from Purdue with a graduate degree from Lehigh. They are expecting a baby boy in May 2009. We are encouraging them to use the Penn State Nittany Lion coach system, but somehow that Purdue Boilermaker shows up. It is comforting that Brian graduated from a Big Ten school. It also is soothing that he is from Purdue since my wife and I both did our graduate work there. Lisa is the youngest daughter, and she graduated from Penn State in accounting last year. She landed a staff accounting position in a national property management firm in a tough market. We have a family vacation home in Boalsburg and our residence is in West Chester. We enjoy Penn State sports including, football, volleyball and basketball. We always attend the Arts Festival. I have been the Project Manager on many commercial construction projects in and around Philadelphia. The projects have included University of Pennsylvania, Franklin Institute, PATCO High Speed Line, Corporate Headquarters and Hospitals. Currently, I am working as a volunteer at Longwood Gardens. I am looking forward to enjoying new challenges in the future.
