496 MILLENNIUM-SECOND EDITION W ith a dual career as a financial expert turned application developer and accomplished contemporary realism artist, Daniel Robert Simoneau has achieved much success throughout his 30 years of professional experience. He enrolled in college for architecture but decided to pursue a degree in art and worked his way through college at a bank. After completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts, he remained with the company and was subsequently promoted to senior consultant. Mr. Simoneau was later able to earn positions as a financial analyst for the Pioneer Plastics Corporation and master finance instructor for PeopleSoft, Inc. without an accounting or business degree. His work as a consultant has taken him across the country and helped support his art career, which has flourished due to his passion for his craft. He has become a signature member of four of five major societies in the past five years and exhibited his art both nationally and internationally. A large solo exhibition of Mr. Simoneau’s paintings was on display at the Kenosha Public Museum in Kenosha, Wis., during the summer of 2017. APPLICATION DEVELOPER Revere Group/NTT Data Kenosha, WI DANIEL ROBERT SIMONEAU L ong before establishing himself as an expert in surface science, Dr. Peter Sherwood developed an affinity for chemistry in high school. He credits his parents, Denis and Merlyn, with enabling his interest in the field by building a laboratory attached to their home. It was this early tinkering that allowed Dr. Sherwood to excel in school and ultimately receive a PhD and Doctor of Science from Cambridge University. Launching a career as an educator in the 1970s, Dr. Sherwood has always aspired to excite a similar passion for science within his students. He most recently joined Oklahoma State University in 2004 and served as a Regents professor of physics and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until 2012, when he retired from academia and was awarded the title of emeritus Regents professor. A fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Dr. Sherwood has authored numerous written works, including “Vibrational Spectroscopy of Solids,” which was first published in 1972 and reissued in 2011. He was also credited as an editor of Critical Reviews in Surface Chemistry between 1991 and 1998, as well as several articles in various professional journals.
