Brian Branigan’s Bio

Brian Branigan — Mon, 16 May 2016 13:42:44 +0000

Hello all, my name is Brian Branigan, I am the father of two boys, Liam 13 and Orin 10, I have a wonderful wife (Melissa) who just graduated from ODU. I was born in a small town (Smithtown) on the north shore of Long Island, NY. I grew up on the beaches and in the suburbs about an hour outside of Manhattan. Long Island is a beautiful place full of lush farmland and county parks.

After the birth of our first child we headed south to find a new home. We landed in Fredericksburg because of my employer GEICO. I have worked at GEICO for the past 13 years, through the years I have worked in three different regions (Woodbury NY, Fredericksburg VA, and Buffalo, NY) and held every position in the claims department. Currently I am the supervisor of the performance monitoring team within the claims department.

History 380 is the last class I will be taking at UMW once complete; I will graduate with a BPS in Business with a concentration in Leadership Management. Currently I have a 3.74 GPA which means I will obtain the Magna Cum Laude honor but my goal is to increase my GPA to 3.75 and graduate Summa Cum Laude. I want to show my boys that continued hard work always pays off.

When I am not in school or at work I love to volunteer in the community, recently I had the pleasure of being the announcer for the Special Olympics All-Star Friday Night. My wife, boys and I love to explore the many great state parks and historical sites throughout Virginia.

Introduction

Hi my name is Crystal Montgomery and I am a transfer student from a community college in Maryland. This is my first time taking online courses at UMW. I am a Studio Arts major and my main focus is in photography. I prefer film photography to digital photography. I am originally from Waldorf, Maryland and moved to King George about two years ago with my boyfriend of six years, Austin. We have one dog and one cat and we always take care of two bearded dragons that were my Uncle’s because he passed away last year.

I am currently a teller at a bank in Dahlgren and my boyfriend works two full time jobs- one with local 26 and the other is a business that he owns where he services and sells pellet, gas, and wood stoves. So it is rare for us to get a vacation. Last summer we were able to see Motley Crue and Alice Cooper in Raleigh NC and this year we are taking it a little easier and staying at Lake Norman NC for a few days with family. I hope to finish up my degree this year and my goal is to become a teacher as well as run my own business. History has always been a subject of interest for me and I hope to take new information from this course and perhaps get some inspiration from it to put towards my art.
