Erik's Story
Life
Life's great! After high school, I got a B.S. from the Univ. of Memphis and now work as a Meteorologist for FedEx Express after 7+ years with MIT-Lincoln Laboratory. I got married to my high school sweetheart right after college graduation in 1997 (you remember that sweet blonde-haired girl, Jenny Shook, don't you?) and we now live back in Bartlett after a 6 year hiatus to SE Shelby County. We are blessed with two daughters - Grace Noelle, born January 3, 2002, and Paige Meredith, born December 3, 2004.
College
After high school, I attended The University of Memphis, graduating summa cum laude in May 1997 with a B.S. in Geography, concentrating in Meteorology, and a Math minor. Since then, I have taken I.T. coursework through Southwest Tennessee Community College (formerly State Tech) and, combined with my UM credits, had enough hours to satisfy an Asoociate's Degree in I.T. with a concentration...Expand for more
in Component Programming. I know - a little backwards, but it worked for me!
Workplace
After graduating from U of M in spring 1997, I went to work for an alumnus of the department I graduated from. I worked for MIT - Lincoln Laboratory (yes, that MIT) at their field site in Memphis. As a meteorologist, I helped monitor and maintain an R&D project funded by the FAA that provides weather information to air traffic controllers and airlines that operate in Memphis.
As of August 2004, I am now working for FedEx Express in Memphis as a Meteorologist. I serve in several capacities, including liasion to the company's Air Traffic Control department, department webmaster, and "administrative assistant," doing things like fulfilling weather requests from within the company, special projects, etc. I love working for FedEx and am enjoying having a much more stable work environment than my previous job offered.
