I have an extensive background in logistics, manufacturing, inventory control, and supply chain management. I am currently employed as the Plant Director for an international beverage company. My passion however, draws me to exotic cars. I have designed and built several SCCA sports race cars.

Sandie SicilianoSandie Siciliano
Anything done should be done well, and I'm an over-achiever in everything I do. Life is like champagne! I believe that every day is Saturday night, and every Saturday night is New Year's Eve! But doing one thing well "forever" couldn't be more boring. While I excel in music as a classical pianist, my interests are infinite - from science, literature, technology, and electronics to culinary arts, crafts, hobbies, and everything in-between.
Thomas Edison once said "show me a satisfied man and I'll show you a failure". I believe he meant that we should briefly savor our achievements and then move on to conquer something else. Subscribing to that theory, there have been many reincarnations and several careers in my life, corporate and otherwise, all vastly different and equally rewarding. Now, nearing 69, I just graduated with a GPA of 99% for 4.0, passed the national board exam and am now a nationally certified licensed massage therapist. In Sept. 2011 I plan to to go back to school and hope to get my degree in 2016 at age 75. Something new - something different - something else to "master". Am beginning to think my role in life is to inspire others to continue to learn and grow. If I fear anything, it's losing my mind.

Dave SwankaDave Swanka
I have been an Intertel member since 2007, when at the Mensa AG in Birmingham a member of both convinced me to join. My hobbies are gardening (I give frequent talks and seminars to local garden clubs on growing roses), watching nature reclaim abandoned urban property (I live in Buffalo, NY, a great place for that), and reading just about anything. A tradesman by profession, I have owned a roofing company, worked in facilities maintenance management, and am currently a home inspector. Being very involved in Mensa, I am currently serving as RVC of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley Region and am running for Chairman of that organization.

Tommy Upshaw
Member also of Poetic Genius Society and Infinity International Society. Seventy years old. Self employed in Industrial Chemicals for over forty years. Live in the country on the Gulf Coast. Main interests are theology, human relations, and opera. (I have sung with the Mobile Opera for thirty-five years.) No plans of retiring. Am degree-free. Actually didn't become aware of personal I.Q. until late in life. I know that sounds quite ironic but have mixed feelings of whether or not I wish I had known much earlier. Favorite quote... "Every man is in some way my superior, and in that I can learn of him". Also perhaps... "Let each esteem other better than himself".
