Tom Medovitch - "Where are they now?"

After college, I started up a Real Estate Financing firm and ran it for 5 years until the housing market pretty much tanked. I sold the company to another financial institution and decided to take a road less traveled and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. I just got off active orders last month and am now a member of the active reserves. I just started a job working at Westinghouse. Currently settled in Pittsburgh...hopefully for a long while, awaiting my units next deployment. Attached is a picture of me last fall in Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo, at our MOUT (Marine Operations in Urban Terrain) training facility.

Hope all is well,

Josh Tech - "Where are they Now?"

Hey Everyone, so I guess it is my turn to give you a little insight into what I have been up to over the past years, so here it goes.

Immediately after school, I worked for just over a year developing parts for some of the GM vehicles made in the Lordstown and Morain assembly plants. That allowed me to shortly thereafter get offered a job in SC working on exterior development for BMW. The X5, X6, and new X3 (the Z4 was, but has since moved back to Germany) are all built just outside of Greenville, SC which is where I primarily reside now. They are American made so feel free to pick one up!!!

I started as a production engineer, and now am currently responsible for the manufacturing engineering department that oversees development of the fender module, front fascia module, rear fascia module, and various other exterior plastic parts. Its has been a pretty rewarding experience; I have been able to travel all over (especially to Europe and Mexico many times), and to see your work driving around every day is pretty cool.

Those of you that remember me from college always knew I was always into "pimping" my car as we used to say LOL. Well, I also kept doing that but on a whole different level by specializing in high end cars and doing that as a side business. My personal cars have won almost every major award, and have actual won many national championships in different sanctioning organizations for the over past 6 years.

Other than that I am still into enjoying life......sometimes too much maybe as I am told on a regular basis. I live in Greenville during the week lets say, but spend the majority of my weekends in Charlotte, NC or Orlando, Fl; with frequent trips to Atlanta, Miami, and Las Vegas of course. Always have to be where the fun is or the beach of course.

In terms of other random things:

- My parents and my two youngest siblings still live in Erie, but I really don't get back to Erie more than once a year (usually for Christmas).

- Still somehow no kids to speak of (for which I am sure the world is thankful for). But definitely not from lack of practice :-)

- No pets either as they would probably die from neglect since I tend to leave for weeks at a time

- I have owned 11 high end cars since leaving school

- I finished up my masters (MBA) degree just over 3 years ago......keeping that in my back pocket for when I might need it some day

- And any crazy story that you might have heard is probably true LOL

If any of you have facebook feel free to look me up (simply search for Josh Tech) and keep in touch

Hope you all are doing well!!!!!

Clay Robeson - "Where are they Now?"

Clay (bro CLAAAAY!! FA89 Behrend) finally graduated in December of 1996,
and moved himself to Boston where he toiled in the world of Subsidized
Housing as a HUD Auditor for several years. To keep himself from going
insane, he started taking improv classes at one of Boston's big Improv
theaters. Eventually he went on to perform and teach professionally with
them until 2003 when he decided to shuck his corporate shackles for more
creative pursuits and return to his native California.

Cashing in his savings, he took a year to focus on photography (a hobby
he picked up just prior to the first of his two trips to Nepal [2001 and
2003]) and ended up self publishing his first book of photos in 2005
(http://photography.ClayRobeson.net). Sticking with the creative world,
Clay started his own video production company and worked on smaller
scale projects with the occasional one-off big deal (a web commercial
for the Dial corporation and a series of web shorts for Mobile Complete)
as well as some roles in front of the camera including Perfect Proposal
on The Learning Channel, Who Shot Jessee James on the History Channel,
Torrent on G4 Tech TV and about 7 seconds of screen time in High School
Musical 3. The need for a steady paycheck, however, led him into the
world of fine dining and Italian Wine. He spent 4 years as the assistant
manager and Sommelier of La Pastaia, a 4 star Italian restaurant in San
Jose.

In October of 2009, an old friend from Penn State called him up with a
job proposal, and starting that December he went to work for Philips
Healthcare in their Patient Care and Clinical Informatics sector working
in the Software Customer Service division leading their Communications
group. He now lives in San Francisco, and keeps up his performance
chops by working with the Un-Scripted Theater Company
(http://un-scripted.com) doing shows like The Great Puppet Bollywood
Extravaganza (Improvised Puppet Bollywood-style Musical) and Secret
Identity Crisis (Improvised Graphic Novel/Superhero story), is working
on a sci-fi drama web series with puppets (http://galaxyscouts.net), and
can't keep a girlfriend to save his life (probably because he spends so
much time working with puppets).

It's been a while...

Wow... I have not blogged since last summer. I am thinking about bringing back the "Where are they now?" series that last appeared in the newsletter several years ago. Be on the lookout for an email or Facebook request from me.
