Catching up with Salisbury graduate Chris Roth
What is your full name?
Christopher Roth
When did you graduate from Salisbury?
1983
Tell us about your life since high school.
Upon graduation for Salisbury in 1983, I attended Lehigh University and graduated in 1987 with a B.S. Finance degree. Initially I began working in the finance/banking industry but quickly moved into Information Technology (IT). Over the last 30+ years I have been working in various roles with IT in providing consulting, sales and management. I have done plenty of travel but have lived all but two years in the Lehigh Valley (the last 20 years in Bethlehem). I have been married to my amazing wife (Anne) for almost 30 years (anniversary in Feb 2021) and have two children (Emily & Paul) that completely fulfilled my life. I enjoy working and plan to work another 10+ years before retiring.
How has the pandemic impacted you and what have you learned from it?
The pandemic’s impact on our family has truly created a challenge in seeing my parents and father-in-law and has limited our interaction to daily phone calls. It has also created some anxiety in having my daughter working as a nurse at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. Overall our family and friends remain healthy and safe during these unusual times and we continue to pray daily for those in need and all of our front-line folks providing the care and services to us.
What are your summer plans?
Our summer plans were primarily centered around a family wedding in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands in July that has been cancelled due to the pandemic. We will just need to wait another year to celebrate the event.
What was your favorite high school memory?
There are just too many to list. Most of all the everlasting memories of so many of my high school friends and the staff, faculty and coaches that made Salisbury such a special place for me.
What is your favorite movie or TV show and why?
Seinfeld. There are so many scenes of their everyday life in NYC that have related to many funny aspects of all our lives.
How is your family doing?
My family is healthy and safe at this time. Brothers - Mike in Raleigh, NC, Tim in Center Valley, PA (kids will be going to Southern Lehigh!), Doug in Allentown, parents in the same house in Allentown, daughter (Emily) in Seattle and son (Paul) living at home working for an insurance company in NJ.
If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
My grandfather - Paul Esser (Dieruff High School teacher and athletic director) who passed away when I was in my teens. I have so many life experiences that I need to talk to him about for his guidance and advice.
Who is your role model and why?
This is a tie - my parents - Ed & Sally who have and continue to be the most loving & giving people I have ever met.
