Professional Experience
I began my career in retail at Kaufmann’s Department Stores (May Company) as a merchant/buyer and then spent over 20 years in new product development most recently at DICK’S Sporting Goods where I held several leadership roles in systems & reporting development, apparel sourcing, quality management and product testing. After 25 years in the retail industry, I felt the Lord calling me to help educate and build up the next generation of Christian leaders.
Before joining Grove City College full-time, I taught part-time for several years launching the undergraduate and graduate Data Visualization courses.

In your opinion, what is the most important piece of advice you give your students to help them succeed?
“Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance” Proverbs 1:5
I try to impress upon my students that we all must learn to listen more than we speak, don’t be afraid to ask for advice and be a life-long learner.
