TMP 2003

Transitions is the word that describes the Class of 2003. Following graduation, our classmates have been busy moving to new positions and locations, getting married, having children and adjusting to life without late-night classes and meeting-filled weekends.

Joseph P. Conlon III recently got married and is still with IBM as an eBusiness tower manager.

Bo Sandine is now COO of WSH LLC in Mission Viejo, Calif. He lives in Laguna Beach and often hangs out with his best TMP buddy, Maria Ramirez ’02.

Steve Wooledge and his wife, Vicki, now live in San Jose, where Steve is working as product marketing manager for analytics applications at Business Objects. Steve made a painless job transition from sales at Business Objects, although he cannot say the same for the move. The couple bought a house in Silicon Valley and are settling in nicely.
