Alumni Updates

I (along with my wife, Robyn) have moved from the St. Louis area to Los Angeles area. I was promoted to Regional Credit Officer for the Western Region of GMAC in Thousand Oaks, CA, now handling the Regional Credit Committee credit requests originating from 5 GMAC offices (Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, Houston and Sacramento) in the West. We are living in Simi Valley, CA.

I am getting married on August 26. Juan Fonseca(sigma), Larry Bishop(sigma), Adam Davis(sigma), and Brian Geiger(Phi) are my groomsmen.

Hey it is mark. We are not going to the Miami game. I have no idea if I am updated in the website or not. I will be getting a new email soon. You know Cathy. We have 3 kids Corey, Caden, Carson. I am a doctor in family medicine. Live in Marianna,Florida. I own my own practice. I am also a associate professor of Florida State University School of Medicine. I am also a clinical researcher for multiple pharmaceutical companies on new drugs. Hope all is well with you, talk to you soon.

Like many other brothers I live in the atlanta area now and work for a company that owns a couple local bars and Nightclub. Technically i am the GM of the nightclub portion of the company so most of my time is spent thier. However, I am always around the bar as well. I see a fair majority of the brothers that live in Atlanta at our bar as it is a very popular destination for that particular age group and people. I would love to organize some football parties at one of our locations for local brothers. If you have any insight as to what would be the best way to go about that let me know. I am still single and enjoy my job greatly. It is fun to work in an enviroment where the whole idea is to have a good time. At present we are in the process of franchising our Bar concept and hope to have several new locations this year in the atlanta area.

J.R. and Laura Riddell welcomed the birth of their second child, Finn Christopher, on June 4 (daughter Ansley just turned 2).

I have been married to my beautiful wife, Melanie since June 2003. We live in Laguna Hills, CA with our one-eyed cat, Bigtoe. No kids just yet. I work as a graphic designer at Billabong; a surf apparel company. Melanie and I also have a graphic design business, Dombroski Design, Inc. My hobbies consist of surfing and watching FSU football. Life is good.

I am currently living in West Palm Beach with my girlfriend Ashlee, who works as a ktichen designer at a large firm in Palm Beach. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University Law School in 2004, passed the Florida Bar and have been practicing law as an Immigration Attorney for the past year. I work for Wayne Levine & Associates, located in Lake Worth, FL. We specialize in all aspects of Immigration Law, covering all of South Florida including West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Naples. I know its a shameless plug, but if any brothers ever have any Immigration questions (Im not aware of any of our attorney brothers who practice Immigration), feel free to contact me at my work line, which is (561) 582-8077.

Here are some events that have taken place:

My wife Jami and I had a baby boy Jackson Leach on June 6^th
Jason Shaffer is in Germany in the Air Force and just last week came to Orlando where around 15 brothers came to celebrate
Terry Fletcher is getting married in the Fall
Josh Reinholt got engaged
Brain Osterhout left the military and started his new career as a civilian in Atlanta working for our brothers at Maxim Healthcare

If I can think of some more I will send them over.

We’ll see you guys at Clemson

I report on and photograph concerts for several magazines. My book ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, comparing Bono to John Lennon as a cultural icon, will be on stands in march. It was my thesis, as I recently earned my masters in mass communication. I live in Fort Lauderdale with my two Labradors.

I have recently entered the exciting field of "Business Brokerage," which brings together buyers and sellers of existing businesses. I joined First Venture Associates, one of the larger business brokerages in the Tampa Bay area. A main reason I chose this field is the increasing number of baby boomers and others (some who have lost their jobs in a downsizing) who desire to own, manage and reap the income and equity benefits of owning one's own business. My role is of course to match buyers and sellers so that both are satisfied, not only with the immediate transaction, but with the outcome in the long run. I am responsible for the asset based marketing and sales of existing businesses under strict confidentiality procedures and ethical practices. I also consult Buyers and Sellers regarding business sales, business loans, equipment loans, franchise sales, business note sales, 3rd party valuations and merger & acquisitions.

I want to thank everyone again for all their help over the last year. Things are doing just about as good as we could realistically hope, and in a couple of months my family should be back in their home. If you would, let the guys know that I've been given the special agent position with Immigration and Customs and after 5 months of the academy in Georgia I'll be posted in Laredo, Texas for 3 years. I don't know if any brothers are out there, but maybe you could help me find out. Otherwise, it's good talking to ya and hope you and your family are doing fine. Thanks again.

Man I have been in the field for two weeks. Just now getting a chance to check the email. Germany is great. Miss all the guys, but it will be fun when they visit. I have got to go to Austria to snowboard, and Amsterdam. Amsterdam is just crazy. I travel a lot so be ready for some good pics.

As for my time in the Fraternity I loved every minute of it. I traveled all over the country and met friends for a lifetime. I pledged in Fall 98, and was in the Chi pledge class. I was my pledge class president. Basically all I was good for was planning social gatherings, and getting us in trouble. Some memorable stuff from back in the day. One was winning the free throw contest for the university. Shooting 30-30 stone cold wasted. Winning the IM championship for 5 on 5 basketball. Living in the house was awesome. Stealing the goal post padding after the Kentucky vs. Georgia game is a memorable time. It was Hoffson's fault I did that. I couldn't list all the great partys or socials. Though the 5 kegger at Tuscany for the UF game still is the best.

I left school Spring 2000 to join the military. My current rank is SSgt. I am an instructor at a Regional Training Center here in Sembach, Germany. The big city next to us is Kaiserslautern. I teach security forces members integrated base defense/combat tactics before getting deployed to the desert. The job is great, and I love teaching. Something I really enjoy. I plan on staying in the military for twenty years. I have got some great training as well. Raven school is basically where they teach security forces to become Air Marshalls. Just a lot of fighting and military specific training is incorporated. Since it started only around 1300 have made it. I don't know yet if I am going to go officer or stay enlisted. I love the espirt de corp of enlisted. Reminds me a lot of the fraternity life. Once I get out I plan on becoming a high school teacher and get back into coaching athletics. If I don't get the boys football or basketball job, then the girls softball, swimming or volleyball will have to do. In my spare time I coach youth basketball on base. I also still play a lot of intramural sports. I have been on two base champion teams. One for flag football, and last year in softball.

As for guys I keep in touch with the list is pretty long. Brian Osterhout, Jason Leach, Brian White, Justin Brummit, Josh Reinholt, Joust, Bill Case, Terry Fletchter, C. Edler, Jim Powderly, Brian Westrick, Chris Rodriquez, Tyler Ammons, Brad Wakestein, Tyler Reeve, Michael (Hollywood) Hallo, Josh Unruh, Joey Del Valle, and a bunch more. Which I am sure I left a few names off,sorry. A few of the guys have gotten international phone plans. So that is a big plus to here from them.

Over the last year a lot of the guys have made an effort to get together and hang out. The first trip was Ft. Myers. I still don't know how we decided on that. But it was a blast. I think in all around 13 brothers showed up, and a few more close friends. The Miami game this year was another fun weekend. Connely Edler got the room, and Myself, Wakestien, Osterhout, and Powderly stayed there. I think in all I saw over forty brothers that weekend. That is where the picture of us under the Sigma Pi sign came from. Clemson game was only a few brothers, but an awesome time. Then the next big gathering was NYE in orlando. Where around 20 brothers showed up.

As for upcoming events being planned. It is still tough for me to get home anytime soon. Right now a few brothers are planning to come to Germany the first of August 06. I am planning to come home Nov 4,06 for Josh Unruh's wedding. I know bunch of guys are going to Vegas for his Bachelor party, but I wont be able to attend. Not this year, but the following Sept. I am going to plan a big Oktoberfest 07 trip. I am going to start putting the info out a year in advance to get as many people as possible. More info will follow on that.
