Comments:

"What a joy and honor it is for me to teach at my alma mater, Sterling College. Sterling had and continues to have a profound impact in my life spiritually and academically. I hope to provide those same experiences for all of the students I come in contact with on a daily basis.

I am also very excited about our new sports management degree and the opportunities that exist for our graduates in this growing field. I look forward to watching our students in this new academic discipline mature and conquer internship prospects and eventually the job market. It is an exciting time to be at Sterling College and especially an exercise science major, I hope you will consider joining our family!"
