"Mr. Roy is a capable and benevolent young man doing magnificently what many today deem impossible.  He's doing battle with the entrenched, arrogant leftists and hawkers of political corruption who are doing their worst to destroy education in this country.  It's easy to get discouraged about the young people today.  Let's not forget that there are independent, productive young men like Anirban Roy out there." -- S. Michael McMillen, Columnist for The New Australian (1997).

    I was born on May 19, 1978 to Dr. Ajit K. and Mrs. Archana Roy in Brazil.  I think I have led an awesome life so far.  I think I have accomplished a lot so far in life.

    My motto in life is to live life to the fullest.  We were put on this Earth to enjoy each and every single day.  Life is precious.  I am a conservative, and I believe in upholding family values and morality.

    Life began for me in a small town in Brazil.  My dad was in Brazil doing consulting for a Japanese steel company in Minas Gerais.  After 7 short months in Brazil, my parents came back to North America.  I grew up in the United States since 7 months old, and I am a proud US Citizen.  My parents said life in Brazil was pretty laid back and luxurious.  My parents had a nice high rise apartment with a seperate servants quarter for our live in maid and my nanny. 

    I have lived throughout the United States including Ohio, Pennslyvania, Texas, New Hampshire, Nevada, and California.  I had a great childhood in Ohio and Pennyslyvania attending private Catholic school and growing up in a custom made English Tudor house.  I was even on Mister Roger's Neighborhood where I played my guitar.  I was spoiled as a child since I was an only child for most of my childhood.  Living all over the United States has been a blessing.  I have made friends from all over the country, and I have got to experience all the diverse accents, local traditions, and weather across the country.  I paticularly loved living in Texas!  To this day, I am still a Cowboys, Mavericks, and Rangers fan.  The Stars moved to Dallas after we had left, but my NHL loyalties lie with them too.  I was captain of the Whiz Kids team in 8th grade (yeah, I know kind of nerdy!)  Furthermore, I got into extemporaranous speaking in Plano, and I won third place at the Plano City Championship during my first tournament!

    I was not as active as a child as I am now.  I mostly stayed indoors and played Nintendo (yeah the original one) and watched all the great 80s sitcoms like Growing Pains, Full House, Cosby Show, Perfect Strangers, etc.  Some of my favorite cartoons included Duck Tales, Transformers, He-Man, G.I. Joe, and Beverly Hills Teen Club.  I was also a big Lego person, and I built "the Kingdom Of Legoland," which was run by King Exxon (Exxon was my favorite oil company when I grew up).  I was not like most kids.  I liked watching Stuart Varney and his financial show on CNN (yeah that was before we had Fox News), monitored the stock market, and following politics.  I would read the Statesman's Yearbook each summer too and find out as much as I could about foreign governments.  When I did go outdoors, I played tennis and batmitton with my dad, baseball with some of the neighborhood kids, and mini golf.  I tried some winter activities since we lived on the East Coast like ice skating, but I never got that one down.

     My brother, Angsuman, was born in 1990.  At first, I was not happy losing "only child" status, but I very close with brother today.

    I have traveled all over the United States and the world.  I have been to the United Kingdom, Japan, The Netherlands, Denmark, Singapore, India, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Mexico, and Aruba (Dutch Caribbean).  I have been to almost all of the states including Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, and New York.  At last count, I have been to 43 states so far.

    In 1992, I lived overseas briefly when my dad was doing a consulting venture in Asia for a major conglomerate.  The company kept us in a huge bungalow with armed guards, and we also had a full staff of servants to tend to our needs.  We were served "high tea" on the veranda overlooking the lush gardens, and we had a person to do every little task you can imagine - even someone that came by in the morning and shined our shoes for us.  We also had a great crew of chefs prepare both Western and Eastern dishes for us.  They even made homemade ice cream for us.  It was an interesting experience.

    High school was cool.  I went to three high schools in three different states.  Highlights of freshman year included going out with my first girlfriend (a cheerleader), the school dances, our 9th grade graduation ceremony and dance, and my going away party.  My class was very small in New Hampshire.   We had less than a hundred students in our grade.

    I started to get heavily involved in leadership roles and extra-curricular activities in Las Vegas at Cimarron-Memorial High School.  I was in National Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), and French Club, serving as President of FBLA and Vice President of French Club.  I was also the Southern Region Vice President for Nevada FBLA during my junior year.  Some of my accomplishments in Nevada included creating a Southern Region Leadership Council made up of two representatives from each high school that had an FBLA Chapter.  The Southern Region Leadership Council met once a month throughout the valley to plan and organize leadership development and community service projects for the area.  Moreover, I hosted the Southern Region Leadership Conference with the help of several then and current Nevada State Assemblymen (all of whom are Republican).  I had workshop presenters from all different kinds of industry to help high school students plan out their future career goal.  Moreover, we had guest speakers from UNLV and the local Hotel & Gaming Industry.  I received straight "A's" for most of my high school career in Las Vegas.  I took all of the honors and AP level classes that were offered at my school.   I became a country music fan after living in Las Vegas.

    After moving to California, I attended Livermore High School.  I was elected President of French Club and FBLA shortly after moving there.  I was a member of the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) also.  Other highlights of my time in Livermore included my Senior Year - ditch day in Santa Cruz, senior ball (prom), senior picnic, and Grad Nite at Disneyland.  Out of all my high school experiences, I liked Livermore the least.  Most of the students and faculty were quite liberal, not to mention 49er fans.  I was a Cowboy fan in 9er country!  Although, I did enjoy watching my Beloved Superbowl Dallas Cowboys win the Superbowl during my senior year and rubbing it in to the 9er fans.

    I started college in 1996 at the University of California at Davis, which is ranked #42 in the country out of all the universities and colleges.  I majored in International Relations and Political Science.  I changed majors several times like the typical college student.  I started off as a Computer Engineering major, but I did not like the math and sciences or the extensive programming.  I thought about other majors such as Computer Science, Economics, and Managerial Economics also.  However, I liked International Relations since it incorporated several disciplines into one major including political science, history, economics, and foreign language.  College was awesome!  It was a great time to meet new people and experience lots of new things.

    I achieved a lot in college.  I was a founding father in my fraternity, Phi Beta Lambda.  We were one of the 20 national fraternities affiliated with the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC).  I served as Chapter President for 4 years, and  lived at our fraternity house for one year.  I also served as State President and Vice President for the state organization of the fraternity.  Living in our fraternity house was the best college experiences.  We had all our events at the house also including exchanges with sororities, rush events, and parties.  Our Spring Fling 2K Party was one of the best parties of Spring Quarter 2000.  Being in Phi Beta Lambda has been a great experience.  We also participated in philanthrophy events with the Panhellenic sororites such as "Kickin With the Chi Os" soccer tournament and Delta Gamma's "Anchor Splash."  I met many people who I consider my best friends.  Most of us from the fraternity still keep in touch today, and we hang out regularly. 

    I got into politics after attending UC Davis.  I served as Chairman of Davis College Republicans after the end of my freshman year.  That alone was an honor to be trusted to lead such an important organization after only one year in college.  I think I have always emerged as a good leader, and I earn people's trust as a fair and trusted leader in whatever organization I have served in.  Moreover, I served on the state board for California College Republicans for four years including holding the #2 position as Executive Vice Chairman.  After graduating from UC Davis, I was asked to remain on the California College Republicans State Board as the PAC President.   I have managed local political campaigns and served as county coordinators for statewide races.  I also served as Northern California Youth Chairman for Quayle 2000.  I founded a chapter of YAF at UC Davis, a conservative student organization.  I was appointed to the State board of YAF as the Northern California Chairman in 1999.  In 1998, I was elected to the Yolo County Republican Central Committee as the youngest member during the June Primary Election.  I am a fiscal and social conservative.

    I officially graduated from UC Davis in March of 2001 with my double major as planned.  I miss my college years, which I feel have been the greatest years of my life so far.  Moreover, I think I got the complete college experience.  I experienced Greek life with my fraternity, was Chairman of College Republicans, Chairman of YAF, founded other campus organizations, was a campus leader, and also served on the state boards for various college level organizations including holding the #2 position with the California College Republicans.  Greek life was awesome - participating in fraternity exchanges, road trips, playing IM sports, and throwing amazing parties.  In addition, I was on the Dean's Honor List and elected into the Order of Omega, a Greek Honor Society for only the top 3% of Greeks in the country.

    I left Schering-Plough in 2010 as the dust settled on the big merger between Merck and Schering-Plough to create the world's 2nd largest pharmaceutical company.  At first, I went to ADP as a Major Accounts District Manager.  However, after about 12 weeks, I realized that a pharmaceutical representative can not be happy outside of pharma even though ADP offered me $15,000 more in salary over what I was making at Schering-Plough.  As a result, I was able to get back into pharmaceutical sales with another large pharmaceutical company in June of 2010.  I missed pharma too much!

    I am really enjoying my new position and territory with my current pharmaceutical company.  I now focus on cardiovascular products and got a once in a career opportunity to launch a first in it's class medication.

    Today, I am a very content and successful young professional living in Northern California.  I built a 4 bedroom house in Natomas Park, a master planned community in Sacramento, CA.  My house has a lot of nice upgraded features like granite counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, 3 home theater systems, upgraded tile and carpet, and more. I am very easy going, and I like to just live and enjoy life.  A lot of my fraternity brothers and friends have settled in this area so I have a nice group of people to hang out with in my sparetime.  I am currently single and looking for an attractive, educated, and professional young woman (preferably in the medical field or pharmaceutical industry). 

    As I grow older, I tend to be more adventurous.  I enjoy water sports and snorkling (especially in the Caribbean).  Moreover, I have done parasailing recently as well as flew a Cessna C172 with a pilot friend of mine.  In addition, I love boating, white water rafting, and hiking around the national parks also. 

    I like to try everything at least once if possible including different types of food.  I am pretty well connected so I can get into different clubs and top restaurants without any problems on a moment's notice.  In 2006, I spent New Years Eve at the private House of Blues Foundation Room party at the top of Mandalay Bay, where many Hollywood celebrities such as Vince Vaughn were partying.  In 2007. I was at a club called Tonic in Times Square to ring in the New Year.  I believe in enjoying life!  We rang in 2009 on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas on Carnival's Elation.  It was my first cruise, and we had a really fun time.  In 2009, we decided to spend New Year's in Vegas again.  We rang in the New Year at the Palazzo and had dinner at their fine dining establishment, Woo.  We had the pleasure to see Devon Aoki (Fast & Furious, War) dining there as well.
