I joined UWG because: I loved the school community as a student and jumped at the opportunity to become part of it again as a member of the staff.

I stay because: I still feel like I can make a positive impact on the direction of the university.

One thing I would change about UWG:  I’d put our campus on the gulf coast!

The best advice I ever received:  “Anything you want to do is only a dream until you write it down, then it becomes a goal.”

The best advice I’d give to new faculty and staff: Take lots of showers, that’s where I come up with most of my best ideas.

Most people don't know that:  Their network password and their e-mail password are completely unrelated to one another.

My favorite quotation: “Do, or do not.  There is no try.”

The book I think everyone should read: “How to be a Super Hero: Save the Universe in 30 days or Your Money Back Guaranteed.”

The movie I think everyone should watch: “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

My favorite memory: Meeting my wife.

The person (alive or dead) I’d most like to meet:  Christopher Walken.

What I would most like to have if castaway on an island: A way off.

What I most want to contribute to students: I want to make technology easier to use for everyone on campus.

Although you didn’t ask, I’d like to tell you anyway: There’s a lot of interesting people on this campus, take the time to get to know some of them.
