My husband Steve (’00) and I (also ’00) had the unexpected pleasure of having our daughter, Gwen, land on a YMCA team full of Tiny Titans! We had a wonderful season with Coach Brad Graba (’98, son named William), Mary Beth Kain Landerman (’94, son named Bryson), and Tom Cioni (’98, son named Alex). It was an absolute blast for the kids and the parents!

I married Mallory Leone who graduated from SF State on September 14th at Rockwall Winery in Alameda CA. We live in Oakland CA and work in San Francisco. I attached a pic with all the IWU alumni in attendance. From right to left are: Jane Hyeon, Scott Stealey, (Me) Tim McAtee, Mallory Leone, Kiley Bednar, Emily Cromwell, and Ahazi Dismukes. With the exception of Mallory, we all graduated from IWU in 2000, 1999, or 1998.

Next, I published my first novel, The Hipsters. You can buy it here from Amazon, or see more info at the website:www.thehipstersnovel.com My Chicago launch party where many IWU alums were in attendance even got written up in The Reader.

Finally, I was promoted at work. I’m now VP, Consumer Research & Product Development for the IPG Lab. More here:www.ipglab.com or you can see me talk about my work here.

We have discovered that we have three Illinois Wesleyan alums working at Mercy Housing Lakefront in Chicago and wanted to share this! IWU is one of the most represented universities in our office. The attached picture is from Mercy Housing Lakefront’s annual Moving Forward Together fundraising and networking celebration on October 9, 2013.

Mercy Housing Lakefront is one of the Midwest’s premier non-profit affordable housing development and management companies. We have developed and currently manage 27 properties serving more than 3,900 residents.
