      Activities and Societies: While attending Farmingdale University I worked on the College radio station as a DJ. Although I was a champion wrestler out of HS, I found it more enjoyable at this point in my life spinning records and having a good time than sweating in a gym. I attended Farmingdale University's Electrical Engineering program for approx 3 years. While maintaining a successful GPA, I chose to leave school, get married and take a job with General Electric.
