After a failed radio career, I realized my passion lay in helping students… and I’ve been doing that for more than 15 years, in various positions in enrollment management and student affairs. It’s a challenge to be a ‘Web guy’ who can’t code (yet), but I love working with our students and sharing their joys and successes with the world.
My family, music, my students, and baseball–particularly the Mets. (In some order.)
