Biography

I arrived at the University of Mississippi in August 2019 thoroughly honored to join this wonderful community as Assistant Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students. Prior to my arrival at UM, I served for five years as Vice President for Student Affairs at Rogers State University in Oklahoma, overseeing numerous programs and services that promoted student engagement and success.

Before my time at RSU, I served for 10 years at Howard Payne University in central Texas in three successive student affairs leadership roles, culminating my time there as Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students.

I earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Kansas State University and a doctorate in higher education administration from Bowling Green State University. My earliest professional experiences were in student housing at two universities in Abilene, Texas, serving there between my academic stints at K-State and BGSU.

I remain actively involved in NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. where I served as Director for the Public Policy Division (2019-2021). Prior to this role, I served as Coordinator of Region Finances for the IV-West region (2017-2019), while simultaneously sitting on the Small Colleges and Universities Division advisory board as Public Policy Liaison, which also placed me on the Public Policy Division's leadership team. From 2015-2017, I served a two-year term as the Student-Athlete Knowledge Community chair.

Each fall, I teach EDHE 351: Organization and Policy in Higher Education, which is a core course in UM's minor in higher education. My spouse, Miranda, and I are thankful to be in Oxford, where we live with our two children.
