Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc.

I pledged Sigma Phi Delta in the winter of 2004. I graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering in 2007. My first job after graduation was with a contract company called LHP in Columbus, Indiana. I worked as a contractor to the Cummins heavy duty diesel team where I worked on testing and calibration for electronic control module software. I worked there for just over a year before being laid off due to economic circumstances. Shortly after, I accepted a job at Raytheon in Indianapolis where I've been working ever since. Throughout the years, I've worked on various projects all involving the V-22 Osprey aircraft. I married my wife, Nicole, in April of 2015. We have a house in Fishers, Indiana, where we are close to several other Phi Delt Alumni who live in the area. My wife and I recently had our first child, August Wayne, who was born in May of 2017. I've always wanted to stay involved with Kappa Chapter after graduation. I stayed in touch with the Actives, and tried to make it back to the house as much as possible. I eventually became the Alumni Advisor, which is what led to me trying to get more involved with the Alumni Association. Around that same point in time, several other Alumni were making it a point to get more involved as well. This involvement eventually led to the re-organization of the Alumni Association into Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc. I was one of the original Board members acting as Secretary. Currently, I am the Vice President of the Board and the Communications Manager. My goals as a Board member are the same now as they were in the beginning. I've been working toward increasing communication, gathering Alumni support, and maintaining a relationship with the Active Chapter, and that's what I plan on continuously working toward as long as I am involved.
