Michael's Story
I've been married to Deborah Rizzo from Northbrook, IL for 27 years. We have 3 children: Cal (19), Andrew (17), and Claire (14). We adopted Claire from Korea when she was only 6 months old. We live in Pennington, NJ and I work for Bristol-Myers Squibb where I am Vice-President of Drug Safety Evaluation. After Palisades Park, I went to Rutgers University, LSU, and U of Kentucky where I received a PhD in Toxicology. Yes - I was always a science nerd. We lived in Ann Arbor, MI for 16 years before moving back to NJ. Cal is in his second year at Elizabethtown College where he is studying engineering and also plays on their soccer team. Andrew is a senior at Hopewell Valley High School and is deciding where to go to college. He is just starting his last year of high school baseball.

ut that was never a high bar. Claire is an artist and I am going with her on a class trip to Europe this summer. Anyway, life is mostly good. I'm not sure who actually reads these stories but there it is. Hope all is well with everyone from the Palisades Park High School Class of 1975.
It's been more than few years since updated my profile so here goes. Still married to Deb and we moved to Pennsylvania 4 years ago after all of our kids moved out. I'm still working in pharmaceutical research. I actually retired from Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2021 but I didn't like retirement, so I joined Organon, a new women's health company, as head of preclinical development. I still love research and drug development and I'm in this for a few more years. I'm also still an avid sports fan, especially LSU football. I hope everyone is doing well.
