Now in my 16th year, I have overall responsibility and involvement for all of what happens in Lowry, McGaw, and the College Underground. I take the lead with leadership development, support for Student Organizations, policy issues with Clubs and Sections, and Summer Conferences. Away from work, I follow the activities of my children (Jennifer a 2002 COW graduate, Bryan a 2006 COW graduate, and Kevin is a Senior in high school) and spend time with my wife, Karen, who works as a lab technician in the biology department. I have published a book, For the Fun of It, that recaps the season of the 2001 Wooster Williamsport Little League team which I managed and featured Kevin as one of the players.

I am excited to begin working with Student Activities at the College! Previously, I was the Interim Director of Student Activities and Orientation at McMurry University in Abilene, TX where I received my Bachelor's degree in Theatre. At the College, I will be advising WAC and managing the UG. When I'm not at work I can be found in a theatre somewhere acting, directing, or producing plays; or spending time at home with my wonderful girlfriend.

I am the Facilities Scheduling and Summer Conference Coordinator at the College of Wooster. I have been at the College for almost eight years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I handle most all arrangements for events during the school year and summer at the College. If you are planning an event on campus, you will start with me regarding plans. I love the interaction I have with the variety of departments and students. My job is never boring, and there is always something new and exciting that I am working on. My favorite hobbies are antiquing, traveling, fishing, and spending time with my two sons, Tyler and Zach, and husband, Matt.

As the Program Coordinator for Lowry Center and Student Activities I am usually busy with Advisor Contracts or Student Organization Charters. But, I am always available to answer questions or help organizations figure out solutions to problems. The exciting part of my job is after regular work hours when Late Night activities are scheduled. This year we have great new ideas and I can not wait to implement them! I am also an Assistant Women's Lacrosse Coach and really enjoy working in both areas of student life!
