I was born and raised in St. Marys, Ohio (western part of the state) and have been a Buckeye from birth (1964). Only one school I applied to,
OSU, and graduated in 1988 with a BS and again in 1991 with a MS. Got married in 1990 (to an
OSU alum of course) moved to Phoenix, Az in 1991 and took first FT teaching position at Phoenix College. Lived there until 1994 when the birth of our first son brought us back to the Buckeye State. Now have 2 boys (7 and 9), live in NE Ohio, am a professor and my wife and I are thrilled to have lived in AZ for 3 years yet more thrilled to get back to Ohio! My sons are becoming huge
OSU fans.
My in-laws live in Worthington hence we are in Cbus frequently. I always make it a point, regardless of the time of year, to drop by campus. I truly feel as if I am home whenever I step foot on campus! As the song goes, "How firm thy friendship, O-HI-O"!
