I joined GVSU in 2010 as an Operations Manager at the Pew Campus and Regional Centers. After 2 years I transferred to the Allendale campus as the Assistant Maintenance Supervisor and worked by way up to my current role of AVP – Facilities Services Allendale. Prior to GVSU I was an Account Manager for The Macomb Group and a Residential Builder serving the Greater Grand Rapids and Lakeshore communities. I am a 1994 graduate of Western Michigan University and received my MBA from GVSU in 2016. My wife Sandy and I reside in Allendale and have a sincere and genuine passion for all things GVSU, especially the best department on campus in Facilities Services. My primary focus is providing outstanding customer service and a great campus experience for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. My hobbies include; spending time with family and friends, woodworking, boating, jet skiing, snowmobiling, camping and golfing.
