It’s amazing how many stories I tell that start with “once, at this camp I worked at...” even after two years.  That’s how many great memories I have of Campus Kids-NJ.  I even found my experiences coming up at job interviews and having prospective employers seem more interested in CK than my education!  Such is the way with camp and how it impacts your life in unexpected ways. 

     I’ve tried to keep in touch with people over the years, and with many people getting on Facebook and Myspace that task has become easier, but I’m afraid I’m still falling woefully short of the kind of contact I would like.  So I was very excited when Jeremy announced he was launching this alumni page.  Life has taken me far from Hackettstown New Jersey.  I currently live in Santa Monica, just a stones-throw from the Pacific Ocean and down town Los Angeles.  Admittedly this location is probably wasted on me: I am not a city person.  But still I like it here very much, though blue juice is in short supply and the announcement trees are more tropical.  I am proud to have graduated from Virginia Tech with my master’s degree in May of 2006 and taught at a neighboring university, Radford, for a year before making the move west four months ago.  I am currently a research analyst at a litigation support firm where I help set up focus groups on which attorneys can practice their cases before going to trial.
