biography

Hello there! A born and raised Hoosier, I am from Huntingburg, Indiana, known for being a set location for the critically acclaimed film, A League of their Own. I'm a two-time graduate from Ball State, earning a bachelor's in Journalism Graphics in 2015 and a master's in Student Affairs Administration in Higher Education (SAAHE) in 2018. I chose Ball State for its community—the campus is incredibly welcoming and I knew I could access the attention and resources I needed to be successful inside and outside of the classroom. It's my home away from home.

A few fun facts about me: I enjoy playing guitar and video games, cooking, traveling, and sharing life with my wife (also a Ball State grad!) and our pets, Emmy and Quinny. I'm also an avid James Bond 007 fan.
