I got into Up With People through alumni.
I joined Up With People because:
It was a dream of mine to travel, and the one of the last wishes my
mom helped me fulfill.
Favorite memory from staging:
The excitement I had in showing off my state to people from all over the country.
Favorite city during our tour and why:
Kaiserslautern, Gustavo and I for laughs took a walk in the rain to a bar.
We couldn't stop laughing, good thing...we may have drank too much.
Since Up With People I am:
married to Alecia, a head start teacher.
Greatest Accomplishments since UWP:
Becoming a Specialist in the Army National Guard.
What you are doing now:
I am an Account Executive at a equipment finance company. Yes a highly
annoying, yet personable salesman.
Other:
No I did not fall off the planet, I just moved to Portland, Oregon. One
of the best decisions of my life mind you. I hope to keep in much better
contact, now that I have finally matured. Yeah right!
