Why I Work in DU Admission

The university’s mission is why I have chosen to work at Dominican University. Dominican University’s focus on the pursuit of truth, service to others, and working for the common good is inspiring. The entire Dominican University community is dedicated to the success and support of our students. I am honored to have the opportunity to build upon the incredible work of the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa and serve a diverse community of students and learners. Ultimately, our talented, hardworking, and caring students are examples of what makes Dominican University so special.

Hobbies/Interests

I enjoy watching and following sports such as college basketball and football, as well as major league baseball and the NFL. I love spending time with my family, including going on walks with our dog. I also enjoy spending time working in the yard.

Why I Work in DU Admission

The reason I choose to work at Dominican is because of the camaraderie and common goals of everyone on campus. The faculty and staff at Dominican inspires students to achieve those goals. I particularly like the great student to faculty ratio, as I feel this is very important in getting every student involved in the classroom with the hope of reaching their full potential. The “small community feel” that Dominican University possesses makes it easy for me to speak and represent this exceptional school.

Hobbies/Interests

Traveling, coaching and watching soccer, and also researching odd facts and useless information. On a day off I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two boys, Camden and Lucas.
