PERSONAL INTERESTS

Beyond higher education, I’m focused first on my family - wife, and two kids. Fitness and outdoor sports are very important to me - I enjoy working out at the gym, mountain biking or gravel-road cycling, and skiing. Down-time I enjoy learning about human motivation, and performance optimization strategies. Philosophically, I can integrate these concepts with leadership work at the college. I’m way into sports and probably watch too much basketball, football, and pro cycling.
