What have I been up to?
Well, I got married and have 3 great kids. I worked in several fields, none related to Media Technology, although I still break out the old 35mm SLR and shoot a roll of B/W on occasion.
After Keefe, I went to Sylvania Tech for communications electronics. I worked at HBM inc. (4 yrs) and EPL Sales and Service (4 yrs) before landing at Zymark corp (now Caliper Life Sciences) for 13 years. I went back to school nights during this time and received a degree in Mechanical engineering.
After leaving Caliper Life Sciences, I landed at Cytyc (now Hologic) in 2006 and worked there until Dec. 2012 when i was laid off
After working for a couple of months on a contract I was hired full time at Echo Therapeutics in Franklin.
I was laid of from Echo in Sept. of 2013 and landed a contracting position at IL in Bedford, MA. I was hired on full time in July 2014.
My wife, Pat, graduated from Saugus (MA) HS. Besides being a great mom, she has worked off and on in the retail industry and as an office mgr. After being laid off in Jan. 09 she enrolled in a course to get her CNA certification in August 09. She is currently a CNA starting a new job at a brand new facility in Ashland MA.
My daughter Maryanne graduated from Norfolk Aggie and Becker college in Leicester/Worcester (after a couple of years off after HS deciding whether or not to continue her education) She is currently working at an animal hospital in Northbridge. Her son Brayden Hunter Aldrich was born in Oct. 2013. Her wedding took place in Oct. 2014.
My oldest son, Corey, graduated from the Culinary Arts program at BVT in Upton, spent 1.5 years at Johnson and Wales before deciding higher education wasn't for him. After a couple of years working as a carpentry apprentice in the local union, he settled into a position at a local pipe lining company.
My youngest, John, recently graduated from Framingham State University, Computer Sciences dept. and is currently working full time in IT support.
