About Me
I’m a Mandan, ND, native who grew up immersed in sports, music, and academics. After graduating from Mandan High, I attended Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, where I played on the men’s tennis team. I continued my education at Arizona State University, and following the completion of my master’s degree there, I became fascinated by the world of higher education, which led me to positions at Bismarck State College and now the University of Mary.
Why I’m At MaryThe University of Mary has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I didn’t attend as a student, I was deeply formed by this campus community and its values, and I am so grateful to now be a contributing member of its staff.
