Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc.

I pledged in the fall of 1988. I was the Eastern Province Councilor in the 1990’s, Kappa Alumni Advisor during the same period and handled the Treasurer job for the Alumni for many years. I am currently the President of the Kappa Alumni Corporation. I have always valued being a member of Sigma Phi Delta and believe that our time as Actives makes us better Men and Engineers. It’s interesting to see all the varied professions that our Brothers have gravitated to and how successful they are. Although I don’t get to talk to or visit many of the Brothers I went to school with, I value their friendship and our time spent in the Fraternity. I own Larry’s Lock & Safe Service, Inc. and Lakeland Electronics in Angola, IN. Many of you will remember Lakeland from Pleasant Street and that it was the supply house for electrical engineers building projects since just before WWII. I purchased it from Don Laird who some of you may remember as he was also an Alumni from Tri-State. Today, Lakeland is an integration company specializing in low voltage applications such as fire, burglary, access control and CCTV which fit nicely into our lock company. I work with my significant other and we have a daughter, Julianna age 14 and a son Michael, age 13. I am also actively involved in the North American Shriners, the Masonic Lodge and the local Chamber of Commerce having served on various boards and as an officer. I’m excited and looking forward to our Fraternities future both Nationally and at Trine University.
