Ross's Story
School
Who was my biggest crush? Well, let's just say that dating Stephanie Maw enriched my life - as short as it was. I was also influenced by someone who I lost touch with - she'll remember who she was (if you read this - remember watching "The Wall"?).
I've been absent from reunions since the 5-year ... life has a way of getting in the way for the 10-year (my son was born), 15-year (I was deployed), 20-year (busy with work/life), 25-year (conference in Japan), 30-year (bought a house), and 35-year (covid leftover). I do plan to attend the 40-year next year.
If I could do it all over again? I wouldn't change a thing. You see, how life turns out now is a direct reflection on how we live it.
College
Executive MBA from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Cham...Expand for more
paign) in 2008.
Bachelor of Science in Geographical Information System from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1995.
Workplace
I have been very fortunate to work in the career field in which I earned my college degree, culminating in working 15 years at NASA (2010-2025) until my position was defunded because some people in charge don't believe in science.
Military
I served under 6 US Presidents and trained with 10 foreign militaries.
1987 - 1994: US Marine Corps, including Operation Sharp Edge, Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm
1994 - 2018: Army National Guard and Army Reserve, including Joint Task Force Santa Fe, Operation Cajun Fury, and Operation Iraqi Freedom
I've traveled to 31 countries on 3 continents and speak Spanish, Polish, and some German.
