Joseph Barndt and his wife moved out of Charm City in 2019 and have been renovating an 1856 farmhouse in Monkton, Maryland, since then. They welcomed their son, Holden, to the family in June 2021, and he is now keeping them entertained and thoroughly exhausted. Joseph left the corporate finance world in 2022, after a side business he helped create took off. He’s had the good fortune to stay close with several other Green Terrors (particularly his Phi Delt brethren) and can’t wait to see how life unfolds for all in the future.
Timothy Neeson traveled to seven states in the Midwest and Great Plains since the last Hill update, getting him closer to his goal of visiting all 50 states in the U.S. Tim’s trips always include stops at National Park Service sites, and he visited over 65 parks in the past three years. Along with Christopher Griffin ’08 and Sarah Brackbill ’09, Tim also started to cruise again, sailing to Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Central America. When not hiking through beautiful parks and cruising to the tropics, Tim continues to support two key alternative buying models at Agilent Technologies Inc. Both programs focus on streamlining smaller recurring purchases that worldwide customers continue to make even in slower economic times. Tim’s goal is to make it easier for customers to buy more products from the biotech company.
