Week 1 Introduction: About Me - Michael Yacovoni

Hi everyone!

My name is Michael Yacovoni and I am a senior Industrial Engineering student. I am from Highland Village, Texas and went to Flower Mound Marcus High School. My father was in the Army for twenty-one years, so we had to move a lot throughout my childhood. I have lived in New Jersey, California, Kansas, Maryland, Texas, and now Oklahoma. Fortunately, most of the moving was done when I was young. I have two older sisters and both graduated from the University of Oklahoma. My father is from Scranton, PA, which is also known for being the location of The Office television show, and my mother is from Massachusetts.

I love playing, watching, and talking sports. I am a big fan of all Oklahoma Sooners sports teams, Dallas Mavericks, and the New York Yankees. Spending time with my family is very important to me, as well as hanging out with my friends. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and TV shows. Netflix has definitely increased the number of shows and movies that I watch. Some of my favorite shows include The Office, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Archer, Workaholics, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Arrested Development. I am a huge dog lover and my parents have two dogs, CJ (girl) and Jesse (boy). We adopted them and decided to keep the names they had. We were only going to get one of them, but we found out that CJ is the mother of Jesse. CJ is a Red Heeler and Jesse is a Blue Heeler/Red Heeler mix. I also enjoy traveling and hope to do a lot of traveling throughout the rest of my life. Outside of the United States, I have been to Mexico, France, and Belgium.

I think I have covered all the big parts about myself, but please feel free to ask any questions you might have! I am excited for this class, to graduate this May, and to start my career.
