Webb Degree: No Limits
By Michael D. Hutchings
 "Hi - my name is Mike, and I'm an engineer working for an investment bank." No, this isn't part of a Twelve Step program. It's just the canned response that I end up giving a few dozen times a year to people in banking who ask about my background.
Armed with my degree from Webb, I looked for a business-oriented role in an engineering environment. After four years in the new business group of an LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) shipping company, working on developing energy projects in Eastern Europe, I was fortunate enough, with some help from an ex-colleague, to get my foot in the door in the energy group at TD Securities. more

Super Season for Patience
 Jenna Ferrieri skippered Patience to third in class for the Manhasset Bay Fall Series. On the boat from Webb were Jenna Ferrieri, Rorie Zuzick, Chris Lyons, Lee Boltz, Kyle Manis, Sam Granger, Randy Neureuter, Erin McElroy, and me - Professor Royce.
We finished five points out of first, with 15 points for a six-race series (first and second were tied with 10 points). Jenna did a great job steering the boat; Randy was awesome on the bow; Sam, Kyle and Erin were great on jib. Lee did a great job at pit (halyards); Chris did mast and Rorie was awesome on tactics and spinnaker trim. Seems like I was just along for the ride! Congratulations to all on a great series. more |
