I originally hail from Evansville, Indiana but most recently come from Ohio where I spent a few years working in Residence Life and Academic Advising at Miami University. My wife works with Fisher Scientific on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill, and we live in Durham, so I get to spend a lot of time on I-40.

Since beginning here in August of 2005, I have enjoyed the warm North Carolina climate, the proximity to the beach, and the excitement of ACC basketball. Of course, I think the best part of being here is working with the great students at NC State!

My favorite hobbies include spending time with my wife, working on home improvement projects, golfing, reading, learning about new technologies, and watching the TV shows "Scrubs" and "The Office."
