The genius that is the love of my life.

For those of you who know us, you may know that my husband has had many-a-professional accomplishment. From discovering new things earning him both domestic and international (world) patents, to getting his cute little face in the paper every other month, to marrying me...oh wait...that's not a professional accomplishment...anyway...So he's incredibly successful and very good at what he does. You can even check out his website (http://www.bama.ua.edu/~swatl001/) if you don't believe me and look at his 47 peer-reviewed publications with over 2,000 citations, his over 120 presentations made at national and international conferences, his 9 invited seminars and his 6 patents. He's brilliant, okay? Brilliant.

His latest accomplishment has been in his recent induction to The University of Alabama Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy is a program for promising University employees where each member is assigned a senior mentor from somewhere in the University. This is an incredible learning opportunity for those involved. This year, 6 members were inducted...and my husband was among them. Click here to read the article in the UA news. Here is a picture of the 6 inductees photographed with Dr. Judy Bonner, Provost of the University. Congratulations my darling! I couldn't be more proud of you!!!!
