Regrettably, I won't be able to make it to the Reunion. We have a few trips coming up and can't really squeeze this one in... we'll see you all at the 15th or 20th reunion.

Has it already been 10 years, though? WOW! My path took me to IU-Bloomington where I pledged Zeta Beta Tau, and majored in Finance-Real Estate and Operations Management. 4 years later, a practice interview took me to Dallas, TX, where I started working for a company called Crow Holdings, which is the family office of the Trammell Crow Family. They are a very prominent real estate developer... don't feel bad... I didn't know who they were either... but the sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then, and it turned out to be a phenomenal job. I started as an analyst and have been there ever since. My focus for the past 5 years has been acquisition, management, and dispositions of shopping centers and warehouse portfolios. Currently, I'm working on building our new headquarters in a Historic Dallas Landmark... it's a large brick hospital originally built in 1913. It's been abandoned for the past 20 years, so we are rehabilitating the property into what will eventually become some of the nicest office space in Dallas.

I met Stephanie, my fiancee, at work a few years ago. She just started a new job a week ago... we are engaged and life is beautiful.

I'm sorry we won't be able to make it... something tells me the party will go on without me. Have fun!
