Background

Hometown: Columbus, OH

About Me: While originally from Ohio, I have been living in South Carolina since 2014. Prior to advising, I taught middle school English in Greenville and here in Columbia. I'm thankful for and enjoy quality time with family, which includes my wife and our two daughters. When away from advising, I enjoy exercising and reading. And while I do also enjoy going to sporting events from time to time, I gain much more enjoyment in being a neutral fan. Odd as it may seem, it works out great! I'm grateful to serve at USC and hope to support others in similar ways others have supported me.
