Get to know him in this Q&A.
What are you most proud of from a work standpoint this past semester?
I am most proud of being able to continue to offer a fitness program to our members and opportunities for our student staff to grow in areas they are interested in.
If you need to unwind, what are some ways you do that?
I am a big fan of hammocking, going for walks and listening to music when I need to unwind.
Favorite Christmas movie?
I don’t have a favorite Christmas movie that comes to my mind. However, I do a yearly rewatch of the extended editions of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy around Christmas.
Favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job would be working with our student staff and watching communities develop and grow within the rec center.
Favorite holiday tradition in your family?
My favorite holiday tradition my family does is watching horror movies instead of Christmas movies. We’re all a fan of the 2015 "Krampus" movie with Adam Scott, or better known as Ben Wyatt from Parks and Recreation.
One skill you have that your coworkers might not know about...
I am an exceptionally good gamer.
Favorite childhood cartoon?
This is a hard one. If I really had to pick a favorite then I would say it would be "Tom & Jerry" but "Spongebob" and "The Fairly OddParents" are right there, too.
