Describe your current occupation and if applicable, how was Temple the launchpad for your current position?  

I work with our executive team to execute change management projects at our facilities and in the Aerospace & Industrial markets we serve around the globe.  A big part of my role has been rebranding and repositioning our company.  The fundamentals of communication and advertising theory I learned at Klein have been invaluable in visually transforming our company for both internal and external stakeholders.     

Why do you support Temple University and serve on the Klein Alumni Association Board?  

As I look back on my career to this point, I see how important my experience at Temple was in shaping me as a leader and communicator.  By serving on the board, my aim is to help others recognize the same, ultimately inspiring greater passion and engagement with Temple.     

What excites you about the Lew Klein College of Media and Communication?  

The professional excellence and thought leadership Klein Grads contribute in disciplines like journalism, advertising, digital marketing, and so many others.  Also, the new building being constructed to house Klein is pretty exciting too.      

What advice could you give someone looking to become more engaged with Klein College?  

Take that first step and commit to attend an event.  The Klein community is so welcoming and I think you will find it very easy to get more engaged after that first interaction.  

What was your favorite memory while a student at Temple?  

Sharing many bagels and memories with my girlfriend (now wife) at the Bagel Hut on Montgomery in between classes.
