Thomas's Story
Since graduating in 97 I spent some years at CLC trying to "figure out" what I wanted to do with my life at which time the dot com craze was running rampid so I decided I would study Computer Engineering. At the time, my girlfriend, now my wife, Kelly, received a brochure for Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Since Oakland offered both of what we were looking for, namely, Computer Engineering and Physical Therapy we decided we would attend this college together. When I finished school in Dec 01 I started work at DaimlerChrysler, now just Chrysler. While working at Chrysler, Kelly got accepted to PT school and started in the Fall of 03. Then in the summer of 04 we finally tied the knot on July 10. After working at Chrysler for 3.5 years I decided to work for a smaller company called Virtual Services. This lasted for most of 06 until they laid me off...Expand for more
due to downsizing. The upshot was that Kelly was finally done with school in Dec 06, finished with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. In 07, Kelly started work Genesys Therapy Services out of Flint, while I started in a new position at Dassault Systemes, a company that makes 3D design software. Oh, I almost forgot, in Aug of 02 we got the coolest dog ever, a white Boxer that we named Ivory. We had a rough start in the beginning because he didn't like his box, but now we have him trained to the point that we don't have to use a box, so he's happy, which makes us happy. He's been an awesome dog, we love him. Currently we are planning on moving back to the Chicagoland area to reside closer to family which couldn't have been better timing, as Kery, Kelly's sister just announced that she's pregnant, I'm gonna be an Uncle.
That's my life since Antioch in a nutshell.
All for now,
Thomas
