What are your favorite memories from your time at UA? The five years I spent at the UA were probably the best and most enjoyable of my life. I received a good education and graduated with a BS in metallurgical engineering. It’s where I met and courted my first wife, Lorena DeSanctis McDuff, who also graduated from UA. I also met and interacted with numerous fellow students who have since become lifelong friends. I pledged and initiated into the Sigma Chi fraternity, where I’ve maintained an active and lifelong involvement. It helped launch my career with JohnsManville Sales Corporation, where I rose to the position of division general manager and vice president.
