Scott's Story

Life Since graduation, I have criss crossed the country. I went to Texas A&M University and graduated with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. Then I went to Bakersfield, California to work as an engineer looking to maximize the recovery of oil from existing and new oilfields. Kind of like the TV show "Dallas"... After a few years of that, the Saudi's decided to wreck the business and flood the market with oil so I left the industry and took my first sales job in Madison, WI selling water treatment chemicals and consulting on maximizing energy efficiency of the operation of steam boilers, cooling systems and wastewater sewage systems. At that time, I met my lovely bride, Chris and we married in Madison. A half a year later, we moved to Appleton, WI and I took a job selling process control systems to paper mills for a company called ABB. Chris became the National Sales Manager for the NBC Affliate in Green Bay. I worked for ABB for nine years, then went to work for a competitor, Honeywell. There, I assumed the corporate relationship for the worldwide operations of Kimberly-Clark. And in Appleton is where we started a family, 2 girls and a boy were born there. The kids loved the snow and the Packers (I know, I am stil a Bears, Cubs, Bulls fan) as well as Door County and our church, Appleton Alliance church where we worshipped the Lo...Expand for more
rd and met many great friends. However, we were getting quite tired of the severe winters and shortening summers and the hectic travel life of two working parents in sales so we sought pulling up the roots and starting a new life in the South. We moved to Raleigh, NC in June 1998 and I took a sales job with Cisco Systems, the Internet networking company providing coomunication solutions to major universities such as Duke, NC State and Michael Jordan;s alma mater, UNC - Chapel Hill. Chris quit er career to concentrate on a more important job for our family at this time, making sure our kids were getting the attention they needed. We have been in NC for 6 years and love it here. We enjoy the longer Spring/Summer/Fall seasons and love the beach, mountains as well as our new church, Colonial Baptisit and the kids school, Cary Christian School. Our kids are receiving great instruction and are being taught in all the subjects from a bibical perspective. The headmaster of the school is a former quarterback of the KC Chiefs. My daughters are now almost 11, 9 and my son is 7. They are involved in the usual activities such as soccer, hockey, baseball, singing lessons, etc. We like to go to the beach a lot so we started a beach house rental business. I hope everyone in the Class of 80 is doing well, please drop me a line to catch up. Scott
