Please share some of your favorite SJC memories - on and off the field:
One of my favorite memories with the team was when we won the Terrier Invitation at Waterville Country Club. We shot 307 as a team (I shot 74, Chris Deroche shot 75, Francois Renaud shot 75, and Andy LeConte shot 83). We had such a talented team that year and it was great for us all to play that kind of round at the same time. Aside from that my other favorite memory was definitely winning the UNE Invitational in 2007. I was three over through three holes before this long rain delay and ended up playing the rest of the course three-under to shoot even par 69. My favorite off the field memories...the one that sticks out the most was when the Men's Basketball team won the GNAC Championship in 2009 at SJC. It was a phenomenal game and the entire place was just crazy! I also just remember hanging out with the team in between rounds at the NEIGA's, hanging with my friends...the regular stuff!

Where are you employed? Please tell us your job title, duties, how long you've been there, etc.:
I am currently working as a Sales Manager for Gold Medal Bakery (Fall River, MA). I have been with the company for a little over two years and work with several supermarket chains. I oversee the in-store aspect of their sales (including ordering assistance, merchandising, display locations, etc.). I work with both the store's private label breads and the Fiber One brand. Just this past year I have also been placed in both New York City and Maryland where I assisted in creating two different distribution centers. While there, I trained newly-hired route drivers on both the sales and distribution aspects of their new jobs. When not training I was responsible for covering distribution routes in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and New York City (working mostly in Manhattan). I really enjoy my job with Gold Medal Bakery and was named 2011 Sales Manager of the Year this past February.
What do you do for fun?
Right now I play golf as much as I can, hike, play tennis and hang out with my friends and family.
We want to hear from you!!
