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.
What’s your favorite UIS tradition or event?
The Rising Stars program, which brings new UIS employees together through a variety of activities, stands out as a particularly meaningful experience. I also value the Employee Development Series and the many other training opportunities UIS offers, as they highlight the university’s commitment to supporting and investing in its employees. I enjoy taking advantage of these programs whenever possible.
What’s something you’re really proud of?
One accomplishment I am especially proud of is graduating in December 2025 with my Master of Business Administration. Earning my MBA was a long-term personal and professional goal, and I am grateful for the opportunity to complete it at the University of Illinois Springfield.
Do you have a travel bucket list? What’s at the top?
We hope the new year has brought renewed energy, intention and determination to make positive impacts throughout your personal and professional journey!
January is moving fast, and as you are looking ahead and mapping out your calendar, know we would love to have you join us for events to engage with students, alumni, faculty and staff at UIS!
