Team Bearcats - All Campus!

"I am just a guy who is stoked to get the students out there in our local, regional, and global communities in order to enrich the lives of others while growing and developing as leaders and participatory members of society. Helping learners move along developmental continuums related to cultural competence, environmental awareness, sense of civic responsibility, learning, and personal growth is a focus of my work as an educator."
