I went to IUP after high school as an economics major planning to go into law. Hated economics a lot, but thought college was wonderful. I tended bar at TGI Fridays for a while and met a food service major named Chuck - also an IUP alum from Garden City. We decided to start a television production company because we both liked TV and movies and thought, "How hard can it be?" It was hard. But it worked out and I've been in the field for 20 some years. I met my wife at TGI Fridays as well. She was a controller. Still is, though not professionally. She and I started making babies 3 years after we married. Madison, my oldest, just started at CMU for architecture. My son Jaymes is 16, looks exactly like I did - acts exactly like I did (scary) and aspires to direct films. My youngest, Haley, is working toward her goal of dancing ballet professionally. She spent part of the summer with American Ballet Theater. I live in Mt. Lebanon (which we affectionately refer to as "the bubble"). We own a couple of coffee shops called "mo'joe". Time will tell whether it was a good idea or not. I still keep in touch with a handful of high school friends and have run into a bunch of folks at the coffee shops. My wife is my best friend. My kids are growing into great adults. I love my job. Life is good. I look forward to seeing you all at the reunion. And you know what? You haven't changed a bit!
