Don's Story
Life
Joined the Navy a year after graduating and, after getting out, went back to college at Chaminade University of Honolulu. Recently retired, but finished out my career as Executive Vice President of First Consulting Group, Inc. Prior to FCG, was with American Express, LEXIS/NEXIS and Honeywell Information Systems. Retirement is great. Also, on a couple of boards, so I keep my hand in the business world without having to run anything.

Some personal stuff - My wife's name is Kelly and we have two children. Our daughter Emily is a 6th year surgical resident at University of Wisconsin. She and her husband Matt have one daughter, Ellison, who was born in January 2007. Our son Matt went to the U.S. Air Force Academy and is now an astronautical engineer with Booz Allen Hamilton, working on the Air Force space program. He and his wife Rebecca delivered their first child, a daughter named Natalie, in November 2009. Did you ever think you'd ever be a grandparent? By the way - I enjoy good friends, good wine and good cigars. I've also finished a fiction novel i've been working on. I'll update this when it gets published.
