What do you like most about working at Fairmont State? As an Admissions Counselor I get to visit a lot of the local schools and help incoming students find their next home and in some cases really discover what’s possible for themselves for the first time.
What do you like to do in your free time? I’m a huge gamer, so a lot of my free time is controller time, though I always make time to hit the gym or hang out with friends.
Where are you originally from? I was born and raised right here in Fairmont, growing up down the street from campus, though I also spent a LOT of time on the river here in town.
If money was no object, what would you do with it? I would be living in Scotland immediately.
What did you want to be when you were growing up? A writer; the idea of being independent and creating things for a living has always had a strong appeal.
What is an interesting or fun fact about yourself? I spent a lot of time playing soccer and street hockey growing up.
