First Posting






Hi guys. My name is David Streetman. I'm a business management major and am on schedule to graduate this December (as long as I make it through 3808!). I'm working full time and have been going to school for the past three years at UWG to complete my education. I graduated High School in 1994, graduated Ga Highlands (then Floyd College) in Rome Ga in 1997 with an AS in Physical Therapy. I took about every science class they offered, trying to figure out what I would like to do with my life. I finally decided to get a job, got married, had the best daughter in the world. I've been married for the past 11 years, and my daughter will be 10 this November. My wife returned to school in 03, finished her teaching degree in 05, and I got the pleasure of seeing her graduate from UWG. I followed suit, and returned to Ga Highlands with a change of major to business, transferred to UWG in the summer of 07.






I work at Printpack, a printing company in Villa Rica. We make all of the bags for Frito Lay potato chips. I've been with the company for 11 years and have had many positions including my current position in the Corporate Analytical Lab.






My hobbies include motorcycles, golf, softball, video games (I'm an Xbox guy), as well as tinkering with anything electronic. My favorite is motorcycles. I'm very passionate about them, and have ridden everything from crotch rockets to cruisers. I love em!






As far as my schedule, I'm available Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and after the 7th of September I will be available on the weekends.






Thanks for reading my blog, and good luck this semester!

  1. Welcome to the class, David! (It's too bad this isn't principles of marketing... you could give us some insights into "Packaging"!) :)

  2. It's been a pretty good career for me so far. I've enjoyed it. I'm actually in transition into my new job as we speak. Totally different environment from production. I have made a bunch of new friends there as well as gaining a ton of knowledge concerning the converting industry. I never knew there was so much work that went into a potato chip bag! Our plant is the flagship of Printpack, so everyone that visits the company takes a tour in Villa Rica. It's a really neat process. We have outstanding run speeds as well as some of the lowest waste numbers in the industry. They like to show us off. :)
