Well I finished grad school. I got my Master of Public Administration in May 2004 from the Nelson A. Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy at the University at Albany. My three concentrations were in the environment, information strategy and management, and budgeting and financial management. I found a job right after graduation working with the University at Albany's Division for Outreach. I am their new Assistant Director for Program Development.

I enjoy various activites, but I am a winter person at heart. I love to downhill ski and I am starting to become heavily involved in winter hiking/camping. I also enjoy playing racquetball, reading, working out, going to movies, downing a drink here and there and much more.
One of my newest and most expensive passions is fish, namely African Cichlids. I currently have three tanks, but they are all very small. I have a 38 gallon tank with grown cichlids from Lake Malawi. I have a 30 gallon cube tank with four tropheus from Lake Tanganyika. I also have a 30 gallon hexagon tank with various tetras and two black calvus from Lake Tanganyika. Kristie tolerates my hobby, which is a good thing since my passion for these amazing fish keeps growing.
