The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

After graduating as an NROTC student in 1982, I served 4 years with the Navy aboard the USS Truxton, a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser. After leaving the Navy in 1986, I began my career as an actuary. I spent 16 years with TIAA-CREF, a giant pension firm in New York City, and I've worked as a disability actuary at Prudential Insurance Company since 2004. I finished my exams and received my designation as a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) in 1995. I've been married to my beautiful wife Maritess for 17 years, and we have a 15-year-old daughter Hannah and a 10-year-old son Keenan. We've lived in East Brunswick, NJ, since 1994. In my spare time, I love to sing with the Big Apple Chorus, a barbershop chorus based in New York City. I also spend a lot of time supporting Hannah's all-star cheerleading team, which has qualified for the world competition in FL the past 2 years. Maritess and I are also building an Internet-based network marketing business. I will always remember the Phi Psi 500 and the Sy Barash Regatta! Believe it or not, I finally made my first trip back to campus in 26 years (!) last September for a recruiting trip. I promise not to wait that long for my next visit!
