Biography
My favorite thing is being a husband and dad of four kiddos and one daughter-in-law. Outside of that… well… I’m boring. I like standing in a river waving a stick around, trying to entice trout to eat fake flies. I also read and mow the lawn. Sometimes at the same time. For work interests, I’ve studied student retention for over two decades and really enjoy trying to help students be successful.
