Favorite thing to do in Eugene: As a former college athlete, I love sports, so you will see me a lot at Autzen Stadium, PK Park, and Matthew Knight Arena. I also enjoy theater and live music, and that is something I get to take advantage of on a regular basis here.
Tips for college success: Learn to manage your time wisely and take advantage of all of the support systems that will help you succeed. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone once you get to college. Have fun and get involved in student clubs and organizations and campus functions, which will give you an opportunity to meet students from diverse populations.
Why I decided to work at the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø: I wanted to be a part of an amazing institution that’s devoted to recruiting students from culturally and academically diverse backgrounds. There’s an extraordinary buzz here, a contagious unique sense of pride among faculty, staff, students, and the community. I love it!
The best part of my job: Promoting higher education and seeing students that I’ve mentored earn their degrees.
Words I live by: My grandfather taught me the importance of giving someone my time, having at least one good suit in my closet, being a man of my word, and being a gentleman at all times. I strive to be a man of character and integrity every day.
