2007 Outstanding Alumni Award from Syracuse University

It has been almost 30 years since I first set foot on the Syracuse University Campus during, what I believe was, the 1st Empire State Games. I was a gymnast representing the New York City Region.

Even as a kid from the big city I was overwhelmed by the size and facilities offered by the University. SU was the first major university campus I ever visited; and this is the primary reason I chose to apply. I applied early admission and never seriously considered another school.

This is way I'm very honored to be selected a recipient of this year's Outstanding Alumni Award. I was nominated and recommended by some very special people in the publishing industry.
