Pledged: Fall 1997
Hometown:
Where do I
currently reside: Harrisburg, PA
What I am doing currently: I work for the Commonwealth of PA, in the PA
Department of Labor & Industry with the Bureau of Workforce Development
Partnership. I also play String Bass and Electric Bass professionally in
Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. I have been divorced since October 1997, but have
two amazing children – my son Julian is 14 and my daughter Margaret is 12. My
son enjoys sports, XBOX 360 (You should see him playing Guitar Hero!!) and plays
acoustic guitar and electric bass. My daughter is an artist and musician that
aspires to become a Veterinarian when she grows up. She has plays cello, violin
and guitar. She has also performed in her schools production of Cinderella,
playing one of the evil stepsisters, Portia (If you ask me, she should have been
Cinderella!!). She paints and draws for fun, but is extremely talented. It is
her creativity that amazes me. Both Julian and Margaret are central to my life,
and I am extremely proud of both of them.
Memorable stories
from my times at Theta Iota: All of my experiences with the Brotherhood have been
memorable, but the most memorable for me was when my Big, James Bearup, first
spoke to me about Phi Mu Alpha. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I’m
sure that most Brothers will say this about their Big, but James was the best!
He was sensitive but firm, knowledgeable and generous. He became for me not
only a mentor, but also a good friend. I regret that we have lost touch, and
look forward to reconnecting with him.
Any Family Information (Bigs,
Littles, etc.): Big - James Bearup, Little - Mike Santangelo
