All About Me


 

 

    My name is Michael Railling.  I am a graduating senior at Tennessee Tech.  My major is wildlife-fisheries science with a concentration in fisheries.  My hobbies include fishing, hunting, camping, and mountain biking.

          I was born in Owosso, Michigan on November 11, 1979.  I lived in Oakley, Michigan for the First ten years of my life.  When I was twelve my dad was offered a job at Saturn.  That December we move to Lewisburg, Tennessee.  Here I went to Connelly middle school, and Marshall county high school.  I played basketball in Connelly and soccer in high school.  I also worked part time at bi-lo. 

          I decided my senior year that I would be going to Tennessee Tech.  I really like the outdoors and Tennessee Tech is the only school than offers wildlife fisheries science in Tennessee.  In 1998 I started college.  My first year of school I joined Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.  This is where I made most of the friends I have today.  The fraternity has made me concentrate on my studies while teaching me time management and social skills. 

          This last December I met my girlfriend.  Her name is Shannon and she Graduates from Tech.  She works for the State of Tennessee.  I am currently working at Pennington and Associates Environmental.  After graduation I hope to find a good job and get engaged to Shannon.
