David Probst, Ph.D., P.E.

About

I joined the faculty of Greenville University in August 2019 to lead the Engineering program through the ABET accreditation process. My wife, Maggie, and I live in Greenville. We are active members of Greenville First Christian Church where we serve in the Children's Ministry and I serve as an Elder. We have two children and ten grandchildren, all of whom live in Cape Girardeau, MO. We put many miles on our car driving to Cape Girardeau to attend their various activities such as soccer, baseball, and music performances. We enjoy bicycling and hope to complete our first century ride (100 miles) in the near future.
