Italian Wedding

Team Italian Wedding, like any good flavour of soup, has stood the test of time. Formed on the Four Square courts of Keheewin Elementary School in Edmonton, Alberta - this team has been through it all. With the possible exception of a real Italian Wedding.  Entirely made up of sage 5^th year students, our gray hairs may not be able to match the enthusiasm of the other teams, but what we lack in enthusiasm we more than make up for in experience.  All three members of our team were born ready to solve problems of any magnitude. We also have no shortage of international experience, as all of us have spent semesters studying abroad in either Europe or Asia in addition to significant travel experience.

Derek Gee is an accounting student with a passion for winning, as well as dancing until the sun rises and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Matthew Russell is also an accounting student who enjoys music, taking his shirt off at parties and the concept of straight-line amortization. Mark Engelking is a finance student who enjoys hockey, the fur trade and stock-based compensation.

Together, we make up Italian Wedding. While the three of us could not name the 4 P’s of marketing, we do not feel overmatched by this challenge whatsoever and are looking forward to showcasing our problem solving ability. And while Italian Wedding may be only the second best soup (Props Cream of Mushroom, didn’t know you had it in you), we will be the best team!
