Erin's Story
Life
Vince and I currently live in Seattle. It's a gorgeous city and we're enjoying exploring it. It is a welcome respite from the heat of the Arizona desert and it already feels like home.
I recently joined Metropolitan Market as the Director of Business Development for Catering. I am thrilled for this new opportunity!

I look forward to the next RVHS reunion in '10 as I haven't been back for a visit since 1995. I'd love to show my husband where I grew up.
College
I never felt completely immersed in the college experience. I always wished that I had gone to the University of Wisconsin - Madison or Penn State. ASU was convenient and priced right so I went. It wasn't a bad experience but I missed watching football in cold weather. I had some great times despite my expectations though!
