Scott Warren:  

Life Well well well... what to say? Twenty two years since graduation. Quite a bit has happened in all that time, and most anyone reading this wouldn't want to wade through it! So I'll make this brief, the Readers Digest version. I moved a few times out of highschool. One stint to Pittsburgh, but stayed mostly local. If you think finding work in this area was bad, try finding a job in Pittsburgh in the mid-80's! They selectively hired at fast food joints! So ... back to NY for me! Which was a good thing it turns out! In '89 I got a job working with developmentally disabled adults at UARC. The pay stunk, the hours weren't much better. But after working there a few years, I met the girl who would become my wife. We got married in '91 and had a daughter in '92. We had a house in Port Ewen. It was small, and we kept talking about moving into something bigger. In '97 we had a son, and we're still stuck in this little house which was just big enough for the two of us to begin with! By this point I was working as one of those copier repair guys that comes to where ever you happen to work. The pay was a little better then ARC, and so were the hours. To pick up some extra cash I started working a few nights a week at Wards in Poughkeepsie. A friend of mine ran the electronics department. It was there that I ran into "Pappa" Joe (Avampato - Highland class of '87). The two of us and a third friend put together a web development/hosting business. Because I had the opprotunity to design a lot of websites and work directly with web servers, I learned a lot. By 2000 I had my resume back out on Monster and after interviewing at several places in Manhatten, (including the 74th floor of the WTC Tower 2 - thank God I didn't take that job!). I finally took a job with a large company in Westchester as a web content author. I've been working there ever since! Though after eight years and a couple promotions I'm now a Senior Systems Developer! In 2002 we finally sold the Port Ewen house and bought some property in Esopus (near where I grew up). In 2003 we moved into our newly built home! Finally, room to spare! The past few years I've been mainly working on the house, and occassionally playing some music. I built a recording studio in my house. I did it mainly for personal enjoyment, but I'm hoping I can record some local talent. (If you've got a band and want to record some songs - give me a shout!). Other then that, life marches on. My daughter is now a teenager! Yikes! She's driving! Double Yikes! And she's playing the bass guitar! Sweet! My son's in middle school and is now playing little league baseball! Cool! Nice thing is they're both high honors in school. Other than an occasional chat with Opie (Andy Palmiotti), I pretty much never see or talk to any of my old highschool classmates. But I'm up for chatting/emailing with anyone that wants to say hello! Heck, most of u...Expand for more
