I have been an advisor on over 20 service-learning trips with students as part of the Alternative Service Break program at NC State.
One of my passions is coaching youth sports, including wrestling, soccer and volleyball. I coached basketball and baseball for one season — enough to know that coaching those sports wasn’t my gift.
I love traveling and have visited over 25 countries on five continents. I have an international postcard collection, and I invite students and friends to send me postcards for my collection.
Earlier in my life, I had a business as a party clown and dressed as the “Big Red Guy,” “Floppy Bunny” (kid-friendly descriptions) and “Buddy the Blood Drop,” the mascot for the American Red Cross.
Some of my favorite things at NC State are Wolfpack wrestling, Feed the Pack food pantry, University Theatre, the Alternative Service Break program and of course, Howling Cow ice cream!
