Baumer, Don	1999	After graduation, I worked for 2 years in retail, 1 as a store manager for Music & Arts Centers. Went back to school in Jan of 2002, taking post-baccalaureate courses in Linguistics at UMBC. Around the same time I started working for The Princeton Review, where I taught MCAT Verbal/Writing and train new MCAT teachers. Yes, all of my students are amazed that a “lazy, dope-smoking tree-hugger” Philosophy major can teach brilliant and sophisticated pre-med students such as themselves how to rock that test and get into med school. Studied abroad in Perugia, Italy summer of 2003. I lived in Baltimore for 3 years before heading out in 2004 to the University of Washington in Seattle, where I have been accepted into the M.A./Ph.D. program in linguistics. Completed MA in Linguistics at University of Washington in Spring ’08. Married fall of ’08. Did a year of contract work testing software at Microsoft. New email: dhbaumer3 at gmail dot com

Beyna, Greg	2013
Blank, Nick	1997	After graduating from St.Mary’s I continued studying Mandarin Chinese in Beijing. Altogether I spent three years in Beijing including one year at People’s University studying International Politics together with very conservative Chinese students. The classes were all taught in Chinese and I was the only Western student in the class. Through that experience I came to have certain views on China which I hold to this day. After Beijing I spent two years at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in DC and graduated with an MA in International Economics/International Relations and Japanese language. During that time I became interested in the world of risk consulting and after graduation joined Kroll – the world’s largest risk consulting firm. I spent nearly seven years living in Guangzhou and Shanghai managing our offices in those locations. My casework has included intellectual property investigations, complex fraud investigations and pre-transactional due diligence. I recently was promoted to Country Manager of S.Korea and am now based in Seoul. My wife and I are enjoying the city. It is challenging learning a new language and adjusting to a culture that is similar yet very different than China. At the time of this writing N.Korea has just tested a second atomic bomb, and S.Koreans are protesting the suicide of a former President. Such is life in Korea! I welcome other alumni who have business interests in North East Asia to reach out and contact me. My e-mail is Blanknicholas_ at hotmail dot com OR nblank at kroll dot com
Blocher, Chris	2012	Planning on living at home, waiting tables over the summer and spending as much time as possible recording and playing music. In the fall, I’m hoping to get a job substitute teaching at high schools near where I live. This will give me some experience so I can decide whether or not I want to pursue a teaching career. CRBlocher at smcm dot edu
Bombick, Andrew (Reverend)	1995	After graduation, moved to Ellicott City MD.  Then married SMCM alumna Catherine (Russell).  I spent the better part of four years hawking stereos and such for Circuit City, then joined the 9-5 masses.  Then an operations manager at T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills.  Then in 2008, I became the “manager of retirement programs” at Black and Decker, in Towson, MD. That’s work, but the real story is all about the family.  Cate and I have two kids, Sophie and James.  Bombick3 at yahoo dot com
Brennan, Mary Kate (Katie)	2004	After graduation, served in Baltimore as a volunteer for AmeriCorps. I thought I wanted to go to law school, but decided that it was entirely too concrete and practical a subject for me. I instead attended the Graduate Institute at St. John’s College in Annapolis to get a masters degree in liberal arts. Then I moved to Brooklyn, enrolled in the graduate program at SUNY—Stony Brook, and got my M.A. in 2009. In 2010, I started the Ph.D. program in Philosophy at Temple University, planning to focus on how literature achieves much of what both pragmatism and phenomenology set out to do. Also working as an editorial assistant for the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. Katiebrennan2 at gmail dot com
Brooke, Evelyn	2013
Brown, Iain Tucker (Tucker)	2002	After graduation, joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, on the Marshall Islands. Having returned in 2005 from the islands fully soaked in Marshallese culture and Ignatian spirituality, I had the grace of working for two years as a Campus Minister at Le Moyne College, a Jesuit institution in Syracuse.  I’m in the last year of course work towards a Ph.D. from Loyola University Maryland – dissertation topic covers conversion experiences and etic dimensions of religious experience. I’m also joining a private psychotherapy practice west of Baltimore City. Best of all: getting married this summer (2010) and just bought a house in Hampden. Itbrown at loyola dot edu
Buenaflor, Ryan Mark (Mark)	2000	After working as the Photo Office Coordinator (photo archivist) and gift shop clerk at the Kennedy Center in DC, was  a photographer and photo office coordinator for the Kennedy Center in DC. In 2007 he moved to San Francisco and worked at Meyer Sound Laboratories. Now lives in Minneapolis and works for the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. Double_knavery at yahoo dot com
Buttrick, Sara	2010	Got a job in Dallas, so picked up and moved there, working as the assistant sales manager of the men’s department at the Dillard’s in Northpark Mall. Skbella22 at gmail dot com
Byers, Stephen	2003	Attending the New England School of Law, in Boston. StephenByersLaw at gmail dot com
Byrnes, Liz	2001	After graduating wrote poetry while working retail and living outside Baltimore. Lived for a while in Australia. Upon return, I worked at the Maryland Historical Society as an Art Handler for two years, taking classes at Towson University in Art History. Was promoted in April 2008 to Asst. Curator, which I did for 6 months. Then and moved to Cincinnati to pursue a degree in Museum Studies and live with my boyfriend. Unhappy with the Univ. of Cincinnati, I started taking the JHU classes, which are on-line for the most part, working on my Masters degree in Museum Studies. All this is further proof that the only reason I majored in Philosophy at SMCM was the faculty and fellow students, not because I might ever use my knowledge for anything other than debating MJ. Elizabeth dot M dot Byrnes at gmail dot com
Capers, Camille	2011	Immediately after graduation, I’m in Maryland working as an account processor for HMShost, a large company that oversees restaurants in airports. As the job market improves, I plan to move out of the area. Cscapers at smcm dot edu or camilleNY5 at yahoo dot com
Castle, Dan	2010	I completed my MA in Comparative Philosophy at Brock University in St. Catharines, ON in early 2012. I’m currently living in the greater DC metro area. I’ve got a day job that pays the bills but I’m still pursuing my passion for philosophy as time and energy (and sometimes money) permits. I’m reading and writing, though not as often as I’d like and trying to make some conference appearances on the side. Ideally I’d like some adjunct or temp work in a department somewhere, anything that will help me keep my feet wet. All of this is just to pass the time until I feel ready to jump back into a PhD program. I can be contacted by email: dcastle88 at gmail dot com.
Catalano, Sherri	1998	After graduating in 1998, I worked for about seven months at The Institute for Genomic Research as a research associate in gene sequencing. I applied to grad school at the University of Colorado at Boulder and in 1999 began my loooong journey towards completing the MA degree in philosophy. While at CU-Boulder, I worked as a budget, accounting and payroll person for the Graduate Teacher Program and was also a Graduate Grader and a Teaching Assistant for three semesters. I married another philosopher (he does phil of language and logic) in June 2003 in St. Mary’s City, and then applied to law school in Dec. 2003. In Jan. 2004, I (finally) defended my MA thesis in political philosophy and social policy (“Immigration and Global Justice: Our Obligations to Refugees”). I graduated from law school at University of Denver in 2008, and am now an associate attorney at Fisher & Phillips in Denver. Scatalano08 at law dot du dot edu

Chong, Jin	1998	Since graduation, I have been teaching in some form or another (Maryland Science Center, Catonsville Community College, AmeriCorps). Most recently, I have been teaching at outdoor education centers and leading trips. Now teaching at Cal-Wood Education Center. I leave in June for my summer job leading trips for teenagers. Currently living near Boulder, I’m learning to play in the snow! Next fall, I hope to be even further west, but Colorado is a great place. Jochong at juno dot com (Feb. 04)
Christianson, Dana	2004	I worked for a year in Hughesville at the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission. I did some cool things with farms, animals, food, kids and I have to say I learned sooooo much about myself being everyone else’s “work horse” and  I enjoyed the health benefits and paid vacation. In fall 2005, will take a few month road trip, with the goal of hugging a tree in most the national parks in America. Working since 2006 in D.C. for “Co-Op America,” now “Green America”: www.coopamerica.org Dana dot Christianson at gmail dot com
Clark, Beth	1995
Clark, Paul	2005	Teaching high school English to boys in blazers, at my alma mater, DeMatha Catholic High School. In 2009, I begin the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College to work on my Master’s.  It runs for six weeks each summer, so I don’t have to stop teaching to attend.  To get the Master’s, I need to complete 10 courses.  They only let first-year students sign up for 2, but after that one can request to take more.  Following that plan, it will probably take me 4 summers to complete the program. They also have 4 different campuses—the others being in New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oxford—and I can mix and match as I desire.  Not a bad way to do some traveling and receive and education at the same time. Yes, it’s for English, not Philosophy, but I still carry my Philosophy education with me where ever I go (and especially into the classroom).  I was talking about Transcendentalism on Friday, and I found myself bringing up Kant as an example of someone who would take issue with the idea of looking inward to find the answers.

As far as work, I did some waiting tables and office temp work; it was the early 1990s, the First Bush Recession. I then got connected with a consulting group and moved into business and information system consulting and have been doing that ever since. I have moved to New England and Arizona a few times, but have come back to Maryland. I have been married for 7 years and have two little boys. 3600 Fels Lane Ellicott City, MD 21043 410-480-1832 coreyrcooke at yahoo dot com

Katcreamer at gmail dot com
Crehan, Phil	2008	After graduation I fumbled around for a good four months, looking desperately for a job.  Finally I became a substitute teacher for high schools in Howard County, Maryland.  (And with every opportunity I try to teach kids philosophy; it never works).  I will continue to do this until the summer of 2009.  In the Fall I am going to American University to study in the School of International Service.  I’m really excited about this because I get to combine philosophy and the world in a program titled “Ethics, Peace, and Global Affairs”.  My plan is to graduate with a Masters and join an effort to end any and all human rights abuses.  I am including this last part so in 2-5 years, when I read this webpage, I can see how close I am to this goal.  Prcrehan at yahoo dot com

Crowley, Roxanne	2000	I attended Bryn Mawr’s Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Program and found studying that much science to be painful. So, no med-school for me.  While figuring out what I was going to do with my life, I worked as a research coordinator for U Penn, Division of Geriatric Medicine for four years.  The research focused on hospice, end-of-life-care, decision making, and research ethics.  Then I decided that the world needed another lawyer, so I went to Temple U. Law School, graduating in 2007.  Thanks to an awesome fellowship, I started my first “real” job at Philadelphia’s SeniorLAW Center, which provides free legal services to low-income seniors. My fellowship project focused on providing legal services to seniors receiving end-of-life care and those on hospice. Rlcrowley at gmail dot com

Gaginis, Guinee	2003	After graduation, worked in the office of Senator Dorgan on the Hill. Then worked on health care issues as a Legislative Assistant with the Sheridan Group, in D.C. Then I resigned from my lobbying position two weeks before the 2004 elections, and went to work for the Knowles campaign in Anchorage, Alaska.  (My nostrils would freeze together in a five minute walk to headquarters.)  I flew out west in January, and played electronic music in San Francisco, later joined a hip hop band as a bassist in Sacramento.  But it was a bit too laid back for my taste.  In May 2005, I moved to Columbia Heights with a friend from Iowa City, and then in winter to Folly Beach, in Charleston, S.C. It’s like St. Mary’s, with more hippies. Johngaginis at gmail dot com

After visiting family in Sarasota Florida several times in 2000, I finally decided that 30 years of Maryland winters were enough. My first employment in FL was as a lumber associate at a big orange mega corporation. I now have a Sales Support position with a company which offers a supplemental coverage plan. I married in October of 2007, I have two beautiful step children & two cats. In addition my wife Helen and I are active in the local Pagan community. I play music, enjoy gardening & am lately totally fascinated by the green movement & the blend of new technology & pre-industrial practices which offer so much potential for living more sustainably.... i.e. saving the planet from us.

Konizeski, John	1997	John is living in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and working at a Catholic elementary school teaching English and English math. His Chinese used to be very good but now is only good for remonstrating with students and translating words and sentences into Chinese for students. I worked for a couple of years at T. Rowe Price in a call center and found it lucrative and valuable but boring so I decided I wanted to continue my Chinese studies. I chose Taiwan over China because I had a friend who recommended it. When I got here I enjoyed studying and found a decent job fairly easily, which then allowed things to spin out of control into the marriage and mortgage that I now have. So not really a plan—just an idea of what might happen. 886 7 550 6719 jekonizeski at yahoo dot com

McLendon, Markus	1994	I am the Principal of the Taylor School, Sheppard Pratt @ Ellicott City.  Not only has someone made me legally responsible for Emotionally Disturbed children, but I am also supposed to mentor teachers and work responsibly with state and Federal organizations.  (People really are irresponsible!)  On the other hand, I think I am quite good at it and I enjoy it a great deal. After graduation,  I was a department store manager for about three years, but it was cutting into my sailing time.  So I moved to Baltimore, and I sort of drifted around working Temporary Jobs for computer contractors and the government until I realized I had a damn fine education and needed to get onto using it for something other than solving other people’s computer or staffing problems.  I even worked in an Italian restaurant.  As amusing as it was learning to make Italian pizza and sundry foods from a Russian national, I decided I wasn’t really accomplishing anything.   So I got a job working with emotionally disturbed kids in special education, first as a teaching assistant, then a teacher and then a principal, at Taylor School in Baltimore. During the course of that journey, I went on and earned a master’s degree in Special Education from Loyola College of Maryland. Then after some reorganization, I got my present position of School Director for New Foundations in Baltimore I actually am responsible for the whole ball of wax now. Markuza at yahoo dot com

Shepherd, Matt	1999	After graduating I sat by my parent’s pool a la The Graduate for about 3 weeks. Then I got a job at an educational research organization.

I bought a condo in Gaithersburg, MD in the summer of 2004 and have been living there with my iancé and dog. Of course, like all SMCM alumni, I am engaged to another SMCM graduate, Leena Ghim.

I lived off unemployment and eBay during this time before I just had to get the hell out. So I moved to Hawaii and just resumed my mountain-biking, bodyboarding and spearfishing hobbies living w/ my uncle and auntie until my unemployment checks ran out. Then I got a job at Club Femme Nu, Hawaii’s best strip club, where I worked as a bar waiter full-time.

Yogi, Jen	2009	After graduation, I worked for Johns Hopkins University as their Community-based Learning Coordinator/AmeriCorps VISTA.

After a year in Baltimore, I'm now moving to Seattle, where I'll be a nutrition educator at a public elementary school in the southside of the city. I'm very sad to leave the east coast, but I hear the temperate rainforest is home to more than a few SMCM alums.

Young, Rich	1992	I’m currently (in 2009) working as a web developer for the College of Engineering at Colorado State University. The job is a recent change; my last employer (an overseas bicycle tour operator) was getting shaky in the current economy, so I left after 9 years there. Current and former jobs were both half-time. The other half of my time goes to homeschooling our 3 boys (4, 6 and 9), which is a great intellectual adventure on many levels and one of the best decisions I ever made. My wife Lorin Spangler (SMCM ‘92, history) is a half-time school teacher, so we are able to each have a (half?) career and share equally in the parenting and homeschooling duties. I left philosophy around 1995 after completing all coursework and ~50 pages of a thesis for a masters in phil at CSU. I’m still tweaking the answer to why I stopped so close to the end; drop me a line for the latest version ;^) corich at gmail dot com OR rich at experienceplus dot com
