Why did you join?
The friends I made during the early part of my freshman year were all interested in becoming Delts. Once I met the upperclassmen, it seemed like an organization which I would enjoy.
Tell us about your favorite memory of the fraternity.
Almost too numerous to mention all of the fond memories I have of my time in the fraternity. What I remember most are the friendships and the four years of fun.
What kind of influence has the fraternity had on your life since graduation?
It provided me with a keen sense of what a true friend really is.
With whom do you still stay in contact? Who would you most like to find?

I lived in the house for two years, and then I moved into the Lodge for my senior year. My roomate senior year was Greg Endress. Living in the Lodge that last year was the best. Having the place to ourselves in the middle of the woods was really enjoyable.

I am an attorney in Wilmington, Ohio.
What affiliations do you currently have and/or public service do you participate in?
I am a member of the local, state, and federal bars.
