About Me

I am an alumnus from the University of Georgia, where I got my degrees in Microbiology. I am fortunate to be able to use these degrees in my daily work.I love those Dawgs! I have season tickets for the UGA Bulldogs, and go to all the home games, the GA/FL game in Jacksonville (the world's largest outdoor cocktail party), and every away game I can catch. I also try to support the UGA ice hockey and rugby teams. While I was at UGA, I had the good fortune to join Sigma Pi Fraternity International, and I have been involved with it ever since.I have a mom, 3 sisters, 3 brothers-in-law, 3 nieces, and 3 nephews. They are scattered about from Virginia to Georgia, so I get to see them while I travel for work and fun.Chat with me on AOL sometime - my AIM screen name is sparky3391.
