What’s been happening:

My wife and I will be married 12 years this June. We have moved from Pittsburgh to Cranberry Twp to Aurora, IL and now live in a suburb of Memphis called Oakland, TN right on the Golf course. We have moved many times as my wife has been moved by the Army Corp of Engineers over the last 8 years. She is a Realty specialist, and has been in Iraq in the Green Zone which is Baghdad, since early December, I hope she is back by early August 2009, please put some prayers there for me. As to me, I spent most of my career in Pittsburgh where I grew up. After college I started at a large local CPA firm called Alpern Rosental & Co, I moved onto Ernst & Young, and then spent a short spell with Eye & Ear Hospital as director of Finance. After that I moved into Retail as the controller of Scoop a local retailer whose owner had created and sold many fashion chains in his career and started this new one, I was there over three years, when he passed away and I stayed and help sell the business. I then moved onto a local retailer up in Warrendale that at the time called PA Fashions,Inc. We had many names but we grew form 26 stores to almost 300 14 years later as I moved up the chain to VP of Finance. The company now goes by rue21. I now work as Director of Internal audit for a large non profit that helps the mentally challenged. That is it!
