How did you end up at Wesmont? I was feeling a nudge to return to a Resident Director position and was fortunate enough to be considered at Westmont.

Favorite thing about Wesmont? The high morale on campus; that it's located between the mountains and the ocean.

What makes you laugh? Two buddies from grad school, Arrested Development and Modern Family .

Favorite college memory? There are too many to choose a favorite, but I had a really great sophomore year when I lived in "The Quad" in Mac Hall. If you know Whitworth, you know what I'm talking about.

Favorite book(s) in your library? To name a few...A Prayer for Owen Meany, Atlas Shrugged, The Brother's K, and Crossing to Safety.

What is your favorite thing to do away from Westmont? I love to visit friends and family. Specifically, backpacking with college friends and spoiling my nieces.
