Todd's Story
After the 20th reunion and feeling a bit older, I feel like I need to get back in touch with the folks that knew me before so much of life has happened. Thus, a one-year membership to Classmates.com - yep, I'm a sucker!
So, I'm a new dad (Katy, born March 2008) a decade after many of my classmates. I've been married almost ten years now, to Andrea, a graduate of that evil school to the west - Orrville. I call Wadsworth home these days, and just bought ten acres in Medina to (eventually) build my dreamhouse.
I work for GOJO Industries in Akron as the Trade Marketing Manager, and have now been there over eight years.
After high school, I went off to college in Memphis, and 20 years later, I have one B.A., four masters, and one doctorate. I teach part-time at the University of Akron, helping people get into grad school!

These days, I'm still trying to catch up on those lifetime resolutions of playing guitar (I've proven better at buying guitars than practicing) and writing the all-American novel (2009, maybe?). I collect books, and try to read 100 a year, coming up short every time (Jason Lautzenheiser of FHS '88 fame setup wordsforwords-dot-com to chronicle our reading)! One of these days I'll get around to restoring a Ford 8N.
