JOB DESCRIPTION

LIKES MOST ABOUT KENT STATE:

I first stepped onto the Kent campus way back in 2003. I fell in love with the campus and its surrounding. Before becoming employed with Kent State, working here is something I always to do. When I got the call for the interview, I couldn't refuse. I guess you can say what I love most about Kent State University is its atmosphere.

FAVORITE MEMORY WHILE AT KENT STATE:

One of the many great memories I have at Kent State University is when I had my first student worker. Not only did that student play a key role in our office, but he became a friend and design collaborator on outside projects.

ATTRACTION TO KENT STATE AS AN EMPLOYER:

It's not a joke when you see the words, "You Belong Here." Just as stepped on this university's soil in 2003, still to this day, almost twenty years later, do I still feel like I belong here. From the people I work with to the environment around me, that is my attraction.

EDUCATION:

HOBBIES:

I spent a lot of my free time illustrating athletes, entertainers and even comic books. Illustration is a passion of mine. I also enjoy traveling with my wife and son, going to concerts and attending sporting events. Fun fact: One of my biggest hobbies was that as a musician, where I played with several major acts over the years!
