Biography:
My name is Corey Gronli. I was born and raised in a small town of 1000 people in Minnesota. During high school I was active in sports, academics, and student counsel. After high school, I attended University of Minnesota Mankato and St. Cloud State University. Before my degree was finished, I took time of to work and explore other options. After 9/11, I choose to serve in the Navy. I was stationed on the USS Stethem, homeported in San Diego; a homeport shift brought me to Yokosuka in 2005. After leaving the Stethem, I was assigned to Defense Distribution Depot in Yokosuka where I resumed my college degree at UMUC. My major is Business Administration and will graduate with a GPA over 3.00.

Biography:
Hi, my name is Bernard Mutz and I am a student at University of Maryland University College. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and have been stationed at Misawa AB for the past year. I work in Civil Engineer Emergency Management in the United States Air Force. Prior to my assignment in Misawa I was stationed at Travis Air Force Base, California. Although I loved California, I believe that living overseas is one of the most exciting and advantageous experiences one could have. I attended Eastern Illinois University for one year prior to joining the military. I have aspirations of someday teaching high school level history, but as for now I just trying to get my studies finished while continuing to excel in my military career. I find myself getting more and more fascinated in history courses through my experiences in the military.
My family and friends have been the most influential and motivational forces in my life. I am the second oldest of nine siblings and have always been there to help them develop into the men and women they are today. I am currently engaged and will be getting married in January 2009 and could not be happier. In my leisure I enjoy watching and playing sports. I am a die-hard Chicago sports fan and truly believe life couldn’t be better than enjoying watching a White Sox or Bears game. I still continue to play softball and basketball here at Misawa and hope to someday coach high school baseball. After looking at many different universities and colleges, I am delighted that University of Maryland University College provides the military and our families with all of the benefits and tools they do to help us all achieve our aspirations and goals. |
