Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
I was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and grew up in Mahomet, Illinois, where I graduated from high school in 1996. I played golf in high school and college before beginning a professional playing and teaching career with Troon Golf and Golf Digest in Scottsdale, Arizona. During that time, I was fortunate to earn a win on the Pepsi Tour.
To assist the university in snow removal, on Monday, January 26 all students and employees should park in a plowed parking area regardless of your parking hangtag.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
The 4th floor of Brookens is being closed due to necessary roof repairs.

Greetings,
Between October 20-24, Facilities will begin testing the heating systems in the legacy campus buildings to prepare for the colder months ahead. These tests will primarily take place in the early mornings to minimize any disruption to your day.
As with starting a home furnace after a long break, you may notice a temporary odor when the systems are activated. This is a normal part of the process and should dissipate quickly.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
