As I write this I am one Final Exam away from completing my first semester at Thunderbird, The American Graduate School of International Business. One semester down, three to go!

I left General Motors this august to pursue a Masters in International Management in sunny Arizona.  I'm majoring in Finance, French, and Europe. 

Classes keep me real busy, but I've found time to be a member of at least ten clubs, I organized a Volleyball Tournament for the China Club, I sang in the talent show Global Sounds,  performed several times with the school choir, honed my public speaking with Toastmasters, and I was elected Treasurer for the French club. 

I've also taken advantage of the beauty of Arizona.  I took a trip to the Grand Canyon and I went to Sedona several times.  I've had several visitors this semester:  Donna, Carl, Nils, and Uncle Dale and Aunt Karen. 


Before I came to Thunderbird I had several interesting
trips to New Orleans, went to Carlsbad Caverns in NM with Tracy, and spent a week with my family in CT.  I haven't traveled as much as I have in past years, but I had to save for school!

I am getting back to France  next year, I'm taking a three week intensive French and Business course in January  before regular classes start in February. 

I'm looking for an internship that I can use my Finance and/or my French skills for the summer, so I might be back in Europe if I'm lucky!

So if I haven't seen you in a while, why don't you come visit me in Glendale?  I can always use a study break to play tour guide in my new state!

Leisure time:

In my spare time I have been recording a few songs on my computer.  They aren't anything extraordinary, but I had fun making them!  Check them out in the MP3 format  at  Dr. Fish or the Fungus Album (all songs are FREE!) at The Fungus
I also have several photo albums available on www.Zing.com
