What’s been happening:

After graduating from Penn State, I earned by Ph.D. in Electronic Materials from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996. More importantly, I married my wife Barbara (a Northwestern University and MIT grad) in 1996. We have two wonderful children - Brianna (age 8) and Owen (age 5). We have lived in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania since 2004. Barbara is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Messiah College in Grantham, PA. I have worked for Tyco Electronics for 13 years. I am Director of Business Development in the AMP NETCONNECT structured cabling division of Tyco Electronics. I am also Chairman of the Communications Cable and Connectivity Board of Directors. I taught my daughter the Penn State fight song when she was three years old, and am doing everything in my power to have my kids become Penn Staters!
