Patrick's Story
Life
...So I dropped out of the University of Illinois in 1990 with a little more than a semester to finish (I like to make the excuse that my brother died and my girlfriend graduated and most everyone else I knew graduated, but I really just lost my vision). I did some interesting jobs including car sales and Frozen Foods R&D while trying to maintain a specific Blood Alcohol Content for two years. At which point I nearly simultaneaously enlisted in the Marine Corps and met my awesome future wife (Geri Anne). Six years of career stagnation in the Marine Corps actually led to a change as I moved into I.T. My wife graduated EE from IIT in Dec '93 and we got married that month (short sweet honeymoon in Canada and two months later I went to Okinawa). I went back to ...Expand for more
UofI in '98 and took a semester of required classes and then finished up with Guided Individual Study (finally in Jan 2002, but too late for the Jan. grad-list, so May). I've since had some interesting I.T. positions with OKI Semiconductor and Sony Electronics -- I am now working with an Orange County start up called DATAllegro where I provide the Operating Systems and hardware expertise for a Data Warehouse Appliance. I continue to explore possibilities in e-commerce. I have kept up with or re-connected with most of the really good friends I had and think it would be neat to talk to some of the other classmates. I just had my first child in February (a beautiful girl -- an absolute joy who we named after my grandmother Sarah and Geri Anne's grandmother Clarita).
