What's your favorite thing about working at Greenville College?

I really enjoy working with the student-athletes in our program and to see their growth over the time they are here. I also am really encouraged by the coaching staff we have assembled.

What attracted you to the Athletic Department?

When I was a full-time CPA I missed the hourly connection of working with people. Joining the coaching staff at GC, has given me the ability to work full-time with young people in a critically formative time of their life.
