I have too many fond memories of WC to name. Lots of time spent in the PAC...all the hardwork on Carousel and Lil Abner...singing with Marcus Rosenau, Rick Marion and Mike Disanto our senior year...having to make the choice between being in West Side Story or working so I could afford to sing at Carnegie Hall in NYC. I made the right choice because I met my wife on that choir trip! Times spent with the Windsors and 2 years with the Madrigals...whether you realized it or not...you were my family. I made many precious friends even though I've not really kept in contact with most of them...you forever occupy a place in my heart.

Life is indeed a strange and precious ride. In the last 20 years I've worked various and asundry blue collar jobs...spent 7 years as a youth pastor...and sang in local hard rock/ heavy metals bands for 15 years. And of course, most importantly, been married to Veronica for 16 years and raised 3 beautiful children. For the last two years I have been a student at IUPUI, majoring in philosophy and political science. After I graduate I plan on joining many of my classmates who attended law school (better late than never!). My wife found a quote a couple of years by George Elliot that has become my mantra. "It is never too late to become what you might have been." I want to work with non-profits or do some sort of advocacy work. In the words of MLK Jr., "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
