That is the beauty of small colleges.

Hobbies: Reading, golfing and playing tag and hide and seek with my daughter, Remi. Favorite thing about being a Viking: All of the faculty, staff and coaches are just a big family for the students and alumni. Why you enjoy being a board member: To hopefully help the soon-to-be alumni enjoy their final years at Valley, but more importantly, let them see why staying involved after school is what makes the College grow.

Favorite MVC memory: Well I think the best thing that I accomplished at Valley was meeting my wife, Emily, day one. When I think of memories, my experience at Valley was amazing. From getting to room with my brother my freshman year to making what I consider life long friendships with my professors and coaches. If it wasn't for the Leslies, Kepner, Simics, Lances, McGills (and the list could go on), I think I wouldn't have enjoyed my time as much.
