Well, like everyone else, I cannot believe it's already been 10 years since the good old days at TC. For me, it's been a wonderful, blessed, full 10 years. I spent the first 4 years after high school at Grove City College (http://www.gcc.edu) earning my BS in Mechanical Engineering. I made some great friends and many more great memories & I met my wife, Diane at Grove City. Two days after graduation in May 2001, I started as a Design Engineer at Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift, America (http://www.mcfa.com). MCFA is a joint venture between Caterpillar Industrial (http://www.cat-lift.com) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (http://www.mit-lift.com) in Houston, Texas. Houston was a big adjustment for me--moving from Tiffin to the 4th largest city in the US, but I love it and it was definitely the right move for me. MCFA has been very good to me. I moved up the engineering ranks for the first 3 years of my career and last September moved to the Product Development side. I am now a Product Manager with responsibility for our heart-of-the line forklifts. Diane & I married in September 2001 and we love it here! Sure it's hot in the summer, but the winters more than make up for it and there's so much to do. Over the next 3 years Diane and I traveled some, worked more, and I went back to school to get my MBA. In November 2005 we moved into our second home and began to prepare for the next stage of our life. One year later, Reagan James Moyer was born. We love being parents and watching him grow and change. We are active in our church where we volunteer with the Jr. High Youth group. Whatever free time I have left, I spend golfing and on home improvements. We are going to do our best to make it up for the reunion, but if we don't, I truly hope that your lives have been as blessed as ours over the past ten years and that you will continue to live your lives to the fullest in the years to come!
