My favorite thing about Pitt State: Pittsburg State has a great looking campus and it can never hurt to go to school surrounded by that! It was a wonderful experience for me going to college in Pittsburg too. Like some of you, I grew up in a large city, but I still found Pittsburg to have plenty of fun things to do. Best of all, the entire town loves the Gorillas and supports PSU in many ways. You will hear many people say that they love Pittsburg State University because of its size. It’s small enough that you don’t get lost in the shuffle, but large enough that there will always be plenty to get involved in. Another wonderful thing about the size is the fact that you can really get to know your professors on a personal level. Nearly 10 years after my graduation from college, I am still close friends with a number of my professors from college. Becoming a Gorilla was the best move I ever made!

Organizations I was involved in: Sigma Chi Fraternity, Student Association of Broadcasters, University Choir, Chamber Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Public Relations/Advertising Club, and Intramural Sports.

A little about me: I have worked in the University setting for the past 8 years; at a public radio station, as an admission counselor, Assistant Director of Campus Activities, Associate Director of Alumni Relations, and now as Assistant Director of Admissions. Working with high school and college students is the best part of this job and why I made the switch back to Admissions. I am married to a lovely gal who is finishing up her Elementary Education degree here at PSU. We have 3 little ones….actually pets. Amber the dog and two cats, Daisy and Sweetpea. I drive a 1976 Dodge Charger and play tenor sax and sing in a Rock and Roll Band on the side.  Check us out at www.myspace.com/area51returns
