Co-authored the Reverse Career Fair Toolkit, which was published in 2019 by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) as a national best practice in the field of higher education career services.

let’s get personal
I live in sunny Sarasota, Florida, with my wife, Maggie — and we absolutely love life. We were instant best friends when we started working together in property management way back in 2008, and we finally fell in love in 2016. In addition to beaching it as much as possible, I enjoy mixing music, playing old-school video games, and purposefully unplanned weekends.
