Hello! I’m excited to work for my alma mater here at the University of Cincinnati and especially in an office that was so transformative for my own undergraduate experience. I've enjoyed working ina professional capacity with honors students since 2009, because their creativity, drive, and curiosity is infectious. And I love to work with these students who aspire to make such a difference.

As the Director for Honors Admissions and Marketing, contribute to the honors leadership team. I work with many campus partners to manage how all students are admitted to the University Honors Program. My primary responsibilities also include managing our communication strategies including its website and social media presnece. I also contribute to our technology and assessment initiatives.

I’m a native son of the great state of Ohio, so friends, family, and an honest day's work are important to me. I'm a proud father and husband. I'm extremely passionate about games of all sorts; from sports to video and board games, I love them all. I study analog games and gamification of education. I also dabble in game development, artificial intelligence and fantasy fiction.

Learn that feedback is a source of love. Fear silence. Those who are silent on your work either lack the expertise to provide feedback or have little commitment to see you grow. Those who give feedback will celebrate your success just as readily as they will challenge you when there is room to grow.
