My passion is implementing effective and efficient technologies in higher education. I believe that people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives can achieve remarkable results when united in the pursuit of learning and growth.
I find joy in playing musical instruments, especially the mandolin, guitar, and banjo. I love spending time in the beauty of the outdoors and particularly enjoy playing in the snow. Most of all, I cherish time spent with my amazing wife and children.

I have two AAS degrees, Language Specialist and Network Specialist. I also have a BS in Human Resources Training and Development.
My passion is making life easier for students, faculty, and staff. Giving access to the tools that they need to succeed in education or work efforts. I love knowing that I'm a part of something bigger and helping shape the future of America through my support of higher education.
I was born and raised in Pocatello. I moved to Boise for a few years after graduating with my associates to work as a database administrator for the Secretary of State. I returned to the University to complete my bachelor's degree and never left.
I am married with two children and a large part of my free time is spent following my kids passions from ballfield to ballfield or wherever they might lead us.
