The biggest project I worked on at Wake Forest was planning and implementation of three special-use classroom facilities for Art, Music and Theater with budgets ranging from $50K to $500K.

The biggest project I've worked on at Duke was managing the production of an interactive CD to promote the use of our course management system. The disc, which had a budget of about $25K was distributed to all of the faculty at the university.

Majored in Public and Applied History which looks at teaching history in a non-traditional setting, such as a museum or archives. My coursework included small business management, marketing, computer science, media and education.

I enjoy walking, hiking, photography and writing. I also collect vintage audio - reel to reel tapes, vinyl lps, and radio transcriptions. I also volunteer for the Old Time Radio Researchers group, which does restoration of classic comedy and drama radio programs from original radio transcription discs....

The main thing that satisfies me in work is the sense that I'm learning something new and solving a problem at the same time.

I would have probably hiked the Appalachian Trail before starting work; it's difficult to take a few months off from life later when you're working full-time.

Working in the private sector in project management or heading up my own technology firm. (Or both.)

Working as a drive-time dj at a country radio station in my home town in Appalachia - hard work, but a lot of fun.

Keep an open mind and don't plan on staying in your first job very long.
