The Penn State Alumni AssociationWhat’s been happening: Since college, I have done a few different things. First, I got out and used my business degree in downtown Pittsburgh, PA from 1998 through 2002. After 9/11, my heart changed a lot and I went to work for a motorcycle shop in Butler, PA from 2002 through 2004. Then, in the summer of 2004, I finally decided to join the US Army, where I served my first tour in the 3d US Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard, as a member of the Presidential Salute Guns Battery. This was an incredible opportunity for me to spend a lot of time in Washington, DC and to do some pretty awesome things as a member of Guns Platoon. This summer, 2009, I am going through Officer Candidate School enroute to becoming a commissioned officer in the Army. After about 6 months of training at Fort Benning, GA, I move on to about a year and a half of training at Fort Rucker, AL to become a helicopter pilot, a lifelong dream. A year after school, in 1999, I married my precious Allison. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. In June, 2006 we had our first daughter, Camille. And in September, 2007 we had our second daughter, Katherine. The family is doing great and the girls are so sweet and are growing fast! |
