| Favorite Michigan Memory: I was a member of the University of Michigan varsity baseball team, so many of my favorite Michigan memories were spent on the field at Ray Fisher Stadium. However, my all-time favorite football memory was when Michigan beat MSU in 2004 in triple-overtime 45-37. The atmosphere at the stadium was electric that night, and the loudest I have ever heard the stadium. HAIL!

Truely my favorite memory at Michigan was getting to rush the field after beating OSU on our way the the Rose Bowl my senior year. We were covered in roses, surrounded by all of our friends and sad OSU fans, with beautiful weather in November. You couldn’t ask for a better last game as a student!

| Degree: B.S. of Engineering – Inudstrial and Operations Engineering | |

| Community Service Committee Chair: Trent Montemayor | |
| Class: 2007 | |
| School/Major: College of Engineering – Civil & Environmental Engineering | |
| Degree: Bachelor of Science in Engineering – Civil Engineering | |
| About Myself: Born and raised in Ann Arbor my biggest goal as a kid growing up was to attend the University of Michigan and count myself as an alumni of our storied university. After staying to my roots and working for several years in Ann Arbor after graduation, I moved to Indianapolis in 2011 to reinvigorate my career with Greeley and Hansen while staying true to my passion of ensuring clean water for the communities I live and work in. I currently reside in downtown Indianapolis while continuing my work for G&H and those who know me best know I never EVER miss a Michigan football or basketball game. | |
| Favorite Michigan Memory: The one that will always stick out in my mind is watching the Michigan-Washington State Rose Bowl with my family as a kid sitting on the floor in front of my parent’s TV. During my time there it was definitely the 2006 football season (though it ended in disappointment) and most notably road tripping to the Michigan-Penn State game in Happy Valley when Michigan’s defense dominated Penn State’s offense the entire game.

In 2006 I moved to Breckenridge, Colorado, where I worked for the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center, a nonprofit that provides outdoor learning experiences for people of all abilities. I relocated to Indy in 2012 and now work for the Indiana Wildlife Federation, a statewide nonprofit organization focused on wildlife and habitat conservation. I’m a third generation wolverine who’s very excited to be back within a short driving distance of Ann Arbor! | |

In 2011, a company transfer brought our family to Carmel, so I could finally bring everyone to experience game day at the Big House. | |
