Snooping around the Alumni information and I found the Smith site. Thanks Jeremy for setting it up.
As some may vaguely remember, I moved out my senior year with George Stowell and David Blood. Taking many graduate math courses, I could use the extra study time.
My final semester I took a co-op with the Dept of Energy at Oak Ridge Tennessee, studying theoretical robotics. I ended up publishing a paper that the DOD classified, and more importantly, met Tricia. We married in December 1995, and now have three children. (5, 2, and 7 mo.) After graduating in 95, I went to graduate school at the University of Illinois. I decided to 'get a job', rather than spend seven years on a PhD, and decided to enter the Insurance industry to specialize in catastrophic management. Back in 96, that was a 'new' field that nobody really entered in. I have lived in Philadelphia, Omaha, and now Schaumburg (Chicago). I am considered a veteran in cat management (with the field being about 12 years old), and am an AVP with Zurich Ins. Co., leading a self created department of seven individuals. (Should grow a few college grads next year to 9-11).
Enjoy the job, enjoy being a father of three, and have good memories of Smith House.
