Last time visited campus: 2012

Favorite college memory: Cheerleading (1984-1986) Rose Bowl year (not game, that was horrible) and great basketball teams.

Advice you would give to your college self: Advice I got from Prof James Carnahan: "I think you might be more valuable in the marketplace than in a graduate program".  He said something about mathematical maturity -not sure I could tell you what that is, but it sounded provocative, and I knew I didn't have it.

Additional comments: Been a lot of places, seen a lot of things. Had most every job in technical sales, marketing, product management and general management. I think those are all great places to use an engineering background.
