Education: BA in Speech Communications with a minor in Geology from Allegheny College

Hometown: Indiana, PA

Favorite thing about WVU: The friendly independent Mountaineer spirit that reflects the people of our community and state.

Favorite thing about this job: Meeting students and families and helping them understand the opportunities WVU offers, and helping them navigate the steps along the road to their Freshman year.

Advice for students when selecting a college: Start early and get on campus for a visit. When you get to campus, speak up and ask questions.

When not working, I'm most likely: Keeping home life moving along with my wife, two step-sons, daughter and three dogs. Occasionally, I actually get to play with my model railroad.
