What have you been up to since high school?:
After graduation I went directly to college at Northern Michigan University, graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice and lettered Wrestling. Sentenced to Lake County jail for six months as a Sheriff’s Deputy then released to probation for five years with Lake County Court Services. Obtained a Masters in counseling from Northeastern Illinois University, which was a violation of my probation so I was sentenced to five years at the Dixon Correctional Center to serve as the career counselor and subsequently as the director of college programs for Sauk Valley Community College in the correctional center. Fortunately DCC was a co-ed prison, because that is where I met Sue, my wife of 16 years. After my released from DCC we move to Rockford, Illinois. I worked as a community counselor for a foster care agency and Sue worked for a mental health agency teaching job skills. We did a little foster care parenting until Olivia was born in 1998. After completing my ED.S from Northern Illinois University I started working at Blackhawk Technical College, Janesville WI., as the minority student retention recruitment specialist. Eight months later I was promoted the Associate Dean of General Education and Academic Development. Left BTC in 2000 to join Gateway Technical College as the Dean of Student Support for the Burlington and Elkhorn campuses. Adam was born in 2001. In 2003 I became the VP of Student Success for the District and 2010 became the Special Assistant to the President. I continue to work on my Doctorate in Education, about 10 years now, I ‘m getting closer every year. Life is very busy for us with kids playing sports all year round, piano and saxophone lessons, supporting and or defending the Cubs, Bears and Bulls while living in Wisconsin and just keeping up with family and friends. It has been fun to read some of your profiles. I hope everyone post theirs. See you at the reunion. Since the last reunion the 40th or 41st, Sue and I celebrated thirty-one years of marriage and we both retired. We both work fun part-time jobs. Sue works at a bakery as baker's helper and I work at a golf course as a cart attendant. We don't do it for the money, but for the perks. Fresh baked goods and unlimited golf. We have travelled quite a bit. We have been to Florida and Nashville many times, Atlantis Bahamas, Hawaii, (before the fires), North and Central Vietnam and most recently Cape Town in South Africa, Pittsburgh, PA and Farmville, Va. Our young adults are doing well. Olivia 27, graduated from Florida A&M University and UW Madison Law School. She is an Assistant State's Attorney working and living in Milwaukee. Adam, 24, graduated from UW Madison and in May 2025 from Vanderbilt University with his MA in Education. Adam was a manager for the Badgers Men's Basketball team while at Madison. At Vanderbilt, he was a graduate assistant for the Commodores Men's Basketball team. Adam is now at Longwood University in Farmville, VA working his first professional job as the Director of Basketball Operations. |

What are your current hobbies and interests?:
Coaching youth sports (actually it is a way to get a better seat to watch my kids play). Listening to my kids play the piano and sax. Going to plays and musicals with my daughter and sporting events with my son and Sue. Golfing. Travelling, we have been to China and Italy and planning to go to Germany and England sometime in the near future. Spending time in our Cabin in Northern Wisconsin when we can find the time and helping kids get into college. Now that our kids are on their way, we spend our time finding opportunities to meet up with them either in Milwaukee or travelling to wherever Adam's team is playing. Other than that, we are big travelers. In November we will travel to Portugal, February to Florida, and in April back to Hawaii. Other than travel, it is golf almost every day for me. I am teaching myself the Ukulele and seeking the island lifestyle. |
