About

Hello,
Thank you for taking a moment to read through my profile. I am a 48 year old father of two and grandfather of three. I attended The Ohio State University after high school from 1985 to 1990 where I was a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and studied agriculture. I left school to raise my children and provide for them. My wife went to school after the children were in high school and then after she graduated, I started back to school. I attended Clark State in Springfield, Ohio for my electives and math requirements. I then transferred to Wright State in Dayton, Ohio to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. At this time I still work full-time as a driver for Pepsi and have classes in the evening. I was inducted into Tau Beta Pi, the honor society for engineering, in the fall of 2015. I hope to graduate by spring of 2018 at the latest, depending on how many classes I can take each semester.
