 I currently
serve as the President of the Three Rivers Alumni Association.
I joined the association and began serving on the Board of
Directors in 2002 as a way of "giving something back" to the
Alumni Association and to the school, since I was the
recipient of an Alumni Association scholarship when I was a
student here. The Alumni Association hosts several
fund-raising events each year to pay for the scholarships we
award and we're always looking for support from Three Rivers'
grads!

In case
you didn't figure it out from the picture and references to
skiing at the top of the page, I'm an avid skier. Off and on since the
early eighties, I've been a member of several ski houses in
the Killington, VT area and skied predominantly at Killington
(it's hard to justify going elsewhere after buying a season
pass to the "Beast of the East"). My biggest year was 1986,
when I broke a bone in my hand (while skiing) and was forced
to take 6 weeks off from work (tragic, huh?). I ended up
staying right up there almost the whole time and got in over 100
days of skiing that year!
I took some time off
from hard-core skiing while going to undergrad school. I got
back into it for the few years since then, but now I'm
forced into taking some more time off while I'm back in grad
school.
Wait, did you
hear that? I think I hear the snow-guns roaring off in the
distance!
In the warmer months (April through
as-long-as-I-can-take-it), there's something else roaring;
I'm out riding my motorcycle at every opportunity. If the
weather allows, I'll put several hundred miles on in a
weekend just riding around Rhode Island and eastern
Connecticut. In addition, I'll take at least 6 or 7
(sometimes extended) weekend-long trips to New Hampshire,
Vermont, and upstate New York. I also try to get at least
one longer trip in each summer (my longest was a week-long
visit to Milwaukee, WI, for Harley's 100th Anniversary, and
I'm planning a trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway this summer).
My current ride is a 2006 Harley Davidson Road King Classic,
the lightest (by a couple of pounds) of the Harley "Touring"
bikes. I like the Road King mainly because of the easily
removable wind shield so I can feel the wind blowing through
my hair (hey, wait a minute, I shave my head...), but when
fall rolls around, I begin to long for the full fairing of
the Ultra Classic Electra Glide to keep me warm. Who knows,
maybe one these years!
