Dr. Alana Bongard
Hey guys! I live in Sauk Prairie, WI where I recently bought my first home. It belonged to my grandparents and so I’ve been pretty busy picking out paint colors, furniture, and other decor to make it mine. I am a pharmacist and work for Walgreens. In my spare time I love to knit, crochet, and read. I’m not big on social media, but I do use Facebook occasionally. Otherwise, feel free to email me at abongard88@gmail.com.
Amanda Lane - Morauske
Well, Hello Class of 2004!!! How has it been 20 years already? Time surely flies by fast, but I think of our WA years often.
Since we have graduated from WA, I got my degree from Cardinal Stritch University in Human Resource Management and a minor in Psychology. I’ve been working for Life Style Staffing for 20 years as the Executive Assistant & Human Resource Manager.
In 2008, I met my husband Joe and bonus daughter, Montana who was 8 years old at the time. We got married in 2012 and we had our son Joey in 2014. Best thing I have ever done was become a mom!
We are a very busy family and always on the go. My husband is a part owner of a family construction company out of Sun Prairie, our daughter Montana is currently 23 years old, graduated from UW Madison and currently doing her Masters in Forensics Psychology while living in Colorado. Our son Joey is currently 9 years old and in multiple travel tournament teams for basketball and baseball, which keeps us pretty busy.
We also have two dogs, and when we get free time we all love taking our pontoon boat out on the lake, or jumping on our 4 wheelers & side by sides for some good riding. We also love spending time with close family and friends. I am not a fan of the cold and snow, and question why I live in this state half the year! Haha
Really looking forward to seeing all of you that are planning on going to the reunion. It’s been way too long and will be great to catch up.

Brianna Davis
Hello everyone! Can’t wait to see what you’ve all done in the past 20 years! I have lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 12 years. My two children sparked my journey into authoring and illustrating 10 rhyming Pop Art children’s books. I also work as a Production Designer and Prop Master for feature films, many of which have been honored at international film festivals and have won awards, including one Emmy-winner, and another which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year. I’ll be working on a film in Italy for the next 5 months. You can reach me directly at bri@popartbooks.com, or on Instagram/Facebook @SLCBri.

Carisa Grimm-Belanger
Hey everyone! So, for starters, I'm pretty bad at keeping in touch with people. Been wanting to attend reunions in the past, but life just kept getting in the way! So, here's a little info about my life for the past 20 years, in case you don't already know. Went to Andrew's University after graduation and got my Nursing degree. Met my husband Josh there and got married in 2008. We currently reside near the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. I had worked as an ICU nurse for a while, but now I'm a stay home mom of four amazing kiddos. We've homeschool our kids for the last eight, going on nine years now, which I would say has kept me the most busy. Besides homeschooling, I teach in the Beginner class for Sabbath School and am the Adventurer Director of our club at church. I have lots of good memories of my time at WA and am glad that I was able to go all those years ago. I'd love to catch up with any of you if you've got the time!

Heather Williams
Within a year or so of graduating, I moved to Alaska; way up in the bush to a town called Nome (completely off the road system). I spent half of my time working in the emergency room and half of my time training sled dogs for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. After being there for over a decade I moved back to the “states” where I continued working in healthcare. Since then, I have lived in several different states, mostly to help my family, and I continue to work in the local emergency room. Since Wisconsin is nowhere near as much fun as Alaska was, I spend most of my spare time hanging out with my Possum (it’s a cat).

Joshua Michalski
In 2004, I moved to Chattanooga, TN to study at Southern Adventist University and would remain until 2016, getting married to Brianne Johnson in 2010 and starting/running a fitness/wellness business in the area. Academically, I completed a Bachelor of Business Administration, a Master of Financial Management, and a Master of Science in Applied Economics. In 2016, we moved to Cleburne, TX, where I was a professor of finance and economics at Southwestern Adventist University. In 2020, we moved to Dayton, OH, where we both currently work for Kettering Health. I enjoy the economics of healthcare and serve as a Director of Strategy & Operations. We prioritize our time spent with our nieces and nephews, fitness, and outdoor adventures. Every year, we engage in exploring new national parks, backpacking new trails, and climbing new mountains. I also grow things, build Legos, attend highland games, read fantasy books, and take classes in history and religion. I consider myself to be richly blessed and look forward to catching up in more detail.

Kenneth Meulemans
After graduating from WA in 2004, I attended Andrews University for four years, earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a focus on Mechanical Engineering. During three of those summers, I worked at Camp Wakonda, where I met my future wife, Tiffany Harrington.
Following graduation from Andrews in 2008, Tiffany and I got married and relocated to the Houston, Texas area. Initially, I worked as a Manufacturing Engineer at Crane Engineering before transitioning to Exterran, where I held various roles including Assembly Supervisor, Area Manager, and Project Engineer. In 2012, with the birth of our daughter, we felt drawn to reconnect with family and escape the big city, prompting us to move back to the Midwest. In late 2012, I accepted a position as Applications Engineering and Customer Service Manager at Fristam Pumps, bringing us back to Wisconsin and eventually settling close to WA. I've remained in this role for over 11 years.
Life is currently bustling for our family with balancing work, school, and church commitments. We love the traditional Wisconsin recreational activities, including camping trips up north, enjoying local lakes through boating, and embracing winter with skiing and snowboarding.

Samuel Hopkins
Hey! It is hard to believe that it has been nearly two decades since we graduated. I have some very fond memories of our time together at WA, and I hope that life has treated you all well. After graduating, I jumped from college to college before finally settling down and finishing my degree in business management in 2010. Then in 2011, I moved over to England. And I’m still here nearly 13 years later, living in the Nottingham area. I’m currently busy as a regional manager for a global engineering company.
When I’m not chasing Robin Hood and his merry men around Sherwood Forest, I enjoy spending time with my amazing 10 year old daughter, Caitlin. I also love to get out and explore the countryside, play some golf, and play my guitar (yes, still!)
Sadly, I won’t be able to make it to the reunion this year as I just wasn’t quite able to squeeze one more trip across the pond in between work and childcare commitments. But I’m 100% committed to being there for the 25th so will look forward to seeing you all then. I’ll also be back in Wisconsin in August this year if anyone is around!
Until then, I would love to hear from you, so you can find me on Facebook or send me an email at Hopkins.samueln@gmail.com.

Remember all that bad stuff I wrote in your yearbooks after they told us not to do that, and then you all returned the favor because well I deserved it. Yeah it's still funny, but they were right I do have to hide it from my kids now. Anyways, I miss our crew. Many times I think back and laugh about undiscussed quizzes, getting kicked out of computer apps, or all the fun we had in Belize. I live in Buchanan (Bucktown) Michigan with my wife and 3 daughters... That's right no y chromosomes except mine for now. I work as a Sr. IT support for a Commercial Real Estate company out of South Bend, IN. In my free-time I play as much ice hockey as the wife will allow me to. I'm on FB, Insta, Snap, Marco, and a ton of them but I really only use reddit and insta. and I don't post anything because being myself on the internet would only get me suspended for the 6th time.

Hi friends! It’s Shelly! :)
It’s been too many years. We’ll do a quick recap.
I still have a huge crush on Ruben ;) We live right outside of Milwaukee and just had our 5th child last summer. Giselle is 12, Isabella is 10, Jasmine is 8, Dario is 3 and Ana is 6 months. I work (part time currently) as a Dental Hygienist. My mom watches the kids so we see my family alot so we try to travel with Ruben’s family a few times a year. We are definitely in our working hard for the family stage. We adore our kiddos and the crazy life we have here. We hope to see everyone soon!
Stefanie Heisig-Day
After graduation I went to dental hygiene school at Madison College. I've been a Dental Hygienist for 16 years now. I still live in the Madison area. Specifically Windsor now. In 2020 I got married and in 2022 I had my first child. We enjoy the outdoors in our free time with a lot of camping, fishing and hiking.

Yo! I’m working as a nurse in Portland Oregon with my wife Trina who is also a nurse. We try to do as much hiking and camping as we can. I’ve been converting a van into a tripping machine over the last year or so. It’s been a learning curve, but pretty fun at the same time. We try to keep as many plants alive in our garden and I mountain bike any chance I get. I still occasionally hop on my unicycle but not as much as I should, haha.

Howdy! I dwell in the nether regions of the southern Green Bay Area where I occasionally work and then do nothing. For work, I am employed by Entegris, where I oversee production, maintenance, warehousing, shipping, and receiving at a facility that makes a foamed sheet that is eventually manufactured into a giant buffing pad that is used to polish semi conductors in their manufacturing process. That’s pretty much it. I am rumored to be on the book of face or the instagrams if you feel like reaching out.
