I always wanted to be an engineer. So, I went to U of L Speed School.
College was a time to further build connections with fellow Central grads.
I joined Ray Frye and Ken Fischer for Monday night Calculus cram sessions
at Ray's house. Thanks for all your help, guys. I met Brother Mark Briel at
the Beta Theta Pi house. Can you say, "Animal House"? I remember working
with Joanie Bensel, Paul Bridwell and Bruce Burmester at Kroger. I received
an Electrical Engineering degree in '83. I went to work at the local utility,
LG&E, in '84. Then, I bought a haunted house near St. X HS in '85.
I went back to U of L and received my MBA in 1998.
Now I'm;
Still at LG&E after 20 years, but now I am an Economic Analyst. That means
that I am surrounded by Economists and Statisticians who enjoy numbers and
computers as much as I do. The company is a subsidiary of the German Energy
Conglomerate, E.ON AG.
I married the love of my life, Diane, in 1989. We have three children, Curtis (15),
Amber (13) and Julie (11). The older two kids have had the privilege of learning
Technology from a fellow CHS '78 grad, LeeAnn Bryan Gooch.
My family loves the outdoors and travel. We like to hike and go camping --
usually in Virginia, North Carolina or Tennessee. My wife has hiked over 1000
miles of the Appalachian Trail. Her mother has hiked the entire trail from Georgia
to Maine.
You may see me on weekends officiating Swim meets. All of my kids have been
swimming since they were in diapers.
