Brief biography

For many years I worked for Columbia College of Missouri in various capacities, retiring as Dean for Adult Higher Education in January 2016. The Division of Adult Higher Education consists of 36 campuses around the country, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  Prior to that, I was Director of the St. Louis Campus and the Jefferson City, MO, Campus and Associate Dean for the Online Campus. I have also worked at Washington University in St. Louis as Business Manager for the Department of Psychology. Before that I served in the U.S. Coast Guard (27 years). I have a BA in Business Administration, two Master Degrees - one in Management and one in Human Resource Development, and a Doctor of Management.
