Seems like forever since June of 2000. Of course, I wasn't living in the Sidney area for graduation. I was living in Huntington, Long Island and graduated from Walt Whitman High School. From there I attended Hofstra University in pursuit of a BA in psychology. The intense work schedule I followed while in school increased my stay at Hofstra to 9 semesters. Shortly after graduation in the last days of 2004, I enlisted in the Army and was stationed in North Carolina. In 2008 my home station was changed to Germany, where I've been enjoying my life in Europe ever since.

There are a few very good stories that come from one season of being a winter track manager with Morgan Ricklefs, including pre-wrap footballs, track meet results announcements, and the confidential file.

My best year was probably 8th grade. What a sensational team of teachers. Great science, english, and global memories. Playing mum ball at lunch was pretty good. That may have been the same year as ski club with my buddy Don Wilcox.
