Thomas's Story
Life
After graduating high school in 1984, I enlisted in the U.S. Army for three years. After spending the first year training as a Combat Engineer and Atomic Demolition Specialist, I was assigned to Germany for the last two years of my enlistment. I left the active Army to attend college full-time but also transfered to an Indiana National Guard unit in Valparaiso, In. for the next four years.
During the next four years I earned a bacholer's degree in Accounting from Indiana University Northwest. While going to school, I also worked an accounting internship at US Steel until graduation.
After college, I was hired by NIPSCO in Merrillville and worked there for seven years in various finance positions.
After being in the workforce for awhile, I went back to graduate school and earned an MBA from the Univ. of Louisville.
Today, I live in Louisville, KY and have for the past nine years. I have worked as a finance executive f...Expand for more
or GE, Bank of America, and now Lexmark, maker of laser and inkjet printers.
I am married almost 11 years now and have two boys ages 6 and 3.
In my free time, I participate in martial arts with my 6 year son. I am a blackbelt instructor in Tae Kwon Do, and am also training in Judo and Hapkido (self defense). The "now" picture is me and my boys with our grandmaster instructor at my blackbelt graduation ceremony.
Central Kentucky is a beautiful place to live with horse farms all around to provide great scenery. Louisville is best known as the home of Churchill Downs (Kentucky Derby) and Louisville Slugger factory (famous baseball bats). Corvettes are also made here. Oh yes, and the best whiskey in the world is made here too.
It's been a long time since I have heard from most from high school, college, or the military. So if you read this and are interested in catching up, shoot me an email, I'd love to hear from you.
