Current Service at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥:

Alumni Board Member; Parent of ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ Students & Alumni

Favorite ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ memory:

Too many to single one out! Spring term in the Hollow with the bands and Chopper Day are at the top of the list. But my most fond memory was graduation night when I proposed to my wife at the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥Seal, then went to the Chopper House and said goodbye to the guys...it was then I began to realize how much ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥had given me in four years!

How did ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ define you and allow you to pass your light on to others?

During my four years at Witt, I realized my areas of interest, of passion, and the areas where I excelled and could best serve my family, my community, and my alma mater. It helped me grow in confidence. The professors were so engaged with the students and helped develop our talents and passion.

Why I support ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ in a leadership role?

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥has given so much to me and to my family. I look back on my time at Witt, and it made me who I am today. In addition, it was the happiest four years of my life. I want to make certain that others have the opportunity to have their own ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥experience.

What goal are you/your board looking forward to accomplishing in the next year?

Continue to reconnect with alumni and for those that have lost touch with Witt, bring them home. ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥was not just our home for four years; it is our home forever. I also want to increase the level of communication with alumni and ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥administration and strengthen the connection of ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥alumni to the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥community.
