It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than thirty years since we graduated. Some things feel like yesterday and other things feel like I life time ago. Well, I am currently living in Haslett with my wife of 18 years - Cathy. We have two kids, Christina-15 and Ryan-10. Cathy’s a physician at MSU teaching at the medical school and truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Well, what have I been up to since I left school? Maybe, like some of you I needed to get out and see the world. I would have gone nuts staying in the mid Michigan area. So after a year I transfer to Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon and graduated with a degree in Geophysics. Little did I know that upon graduation that I would become gainfully unemployed. The oil market went into the tank and did not recover for the next ten years. So, long story short, I joined Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children (USMC) as an officer. They took me on this great mystical tour of the world. I got see great places like Beirut, Central America and all the fine places of South East Asia. I spent the next 8.5 years loving it. Then the fickle finger fate step in and I had a bad back injury that landed me in traction for 22 weeks in Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. So much for a career in the Corps.
From there I was medical honorably discharged for the Marine Corp as an O4 or Major. From there I went back to school and obtained a BS and Masters in Civil Engineering. After school I moved my family over to Europe with my wife’s permission. The family lived in Ireland while I work in the North Sea as an Engineer/Diver, inspecting oil rigs and pipelines. After a several years we moved back to Mid-Michigan so we could be near my wife’s family as my family has scattered to the four corners of the wind.
In 2004, I started my own company called Nautilus Marine Group International, L.L.C. I am currently doing underwater inspections of bridges, dams, ports and harbors. But any free time I am either in the Great Lakes or Caribbean looking for shipwrecks. Delusions of Grandeur. Feel free to drop me an email or phone call as it would be great to catch up with people.
