Favorite Temple hangout as a student:
The Student Center—when I wasn´t in the lab!
Favorite Temple memory:
Attending Temple Men´s Basketball games in the late 1980s when we were ranked No. 1 in the country.
Favorite Temple moment:
Meeting my wife, Gladys.
Favorite way to connect with Temple since graduating:
Volunteering and attending alumni events with my family.
Vision for TUAA:
I want all alumni to be able to connect with Temple in a way that meets their individual needs while feeling part of the Temple family in Philadelphia, around the country in our clubs and globally at our campuses.
Advice for today´s students:
My advice for students is simple: Get experience in your major before you graduate. It will help you determine if you like doing what you are studying, and more importantly, it gives you a leg up on the competition for jobs when you graduate.
