Favorite Wittenberg memory:

Too many to single one out! Spring term in the Hollow with the bands and Chopper Day are at the top of the list. But my most fond memory was graduation night when I proposed to my wife at the Witt Seal, then went to the Chopper House and said goodbye to the guys...it was then I began to realize how much Witt had given me in four years!

How did Wittenberg define you and allow you to pass your light on to others?

During my four years at Witt, I realized my areas of interest, of passion, and the areas where I excelled and could best serve my family, my community, and my alma mater. It helped me grow in confidence. The professors were so engaged with the students and helped develop our talents and passion.

Why I support Wittenberg in a leadership role?

Witt has given so much to me and to my family. I look back on my time at Witt, and it made me who I am today. In addition, it was the happiest four years of my life. I want to make certain that others have the opportunity to have their own Witt experience.

What goal are you/your board looking forward to accomplishing in the next year?

Continue to reconnect with alumni and for those that have lost touch with Witt, bring them home. Witt was not just our home for four years; it is our home forever. I also want to increase the level of communication with alumni and Witt administration and strengthen the connection of Witt alumni to the Witt community.
