BIO BRIEF
I grew up in Greenville about three blocks from campus. Both of my parents graduated from Greenville College, and I have spent all but three years of my life living in town. My wife Laurie have been married for 16 years, and we have two children, Will (age 14) and Mae (age 12), and our newest addition, a Cavapoo named Luci. As a family, we enjoy vacationing, attending professional sporting events (St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues, particularly), watching our children's athletic events, and hanging out at home.
WHY I WORK AT GU:
Greenville University transformed my life. I have been a Christian since age 10, but the deepening of my relationship with the Lord is rooted in my days as a GC student and an early career professional at GC, where I was mentored by men such as Doug Faulkner and Jack Trager. I am driven to have an impact on others the way that those men impacted me.
