The fall of 1997 when I was a first-year student in the College of Engineering.
I enjoy helping people recognize meaning in day-to-day activities or past experiences and to encourage folks to actively engage in the present with an awareness that choices affect the future.

My Bucket List consists of... Nothing. Having things undone makes me grumpy. I’d rather just do things as they come up.

My childhood dream was to play second base for the Pirates.

In my spare time, I follow sports, cook, fix things, and ponder or research whatever is most interesting to me moment-to-moment.

You may not know this about me, but I was a THON Dancer twice (’00 and ’01) and served as a Family Relations captain in ’02.

My grandmother always said that ‘Patience is a virtue.’
