Athletics has been cultivated through my experiences as a Head Coach at the NCAA Division III and NJCAA Division III level and also by working with various Division I level basketball programs which included Temple University under Hall of Fame Coach John Chaney, and at the University of Connecticut under Hall of Fame Coach Jim Calhoun.  My training at both Temple University and at the University of Connecticut has allowed me to excel in the areas of team management and creating an environment of excellent communication and support.  Over my professional career, Ive worked in a multitude of positions covering every aspect of an Athletic Department.  Student Manager for a Mens Basketball NCAA Division I team (Temple University), Student Athletic Business Office Intern for a NCAA Division I program (Villanova University), Graduate Assistant Academic Advisor of a Division I National Championship Mens Basketball team (University of Connecticut), Head Mens Basketball Coach at the NCAA Division III and NJCAA Division III level for seven years (Newbury College/Roxbury Community College), and now currently the Director of Athletics for a NJCAA Division III program overseeing seven varsity sports.
