By day, I serve as the assistant director of communications & relations in International Programs at the University of Iowa, where I oversee event planning, donor stewardship, and strategic communications. On nights and weekends, you’ll find me working on house projects, spending time with my wife, Hannah, and doing some freelance social media work and websites for companies. I specialize in:

  • Website Design & Management: Crafting user-friendly, responsive websites tailored to your brand.

  • Digital Marketing: Managing Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Google Business profiles to enhance online visibility.

  • Brand Development: Creating cohesive branding strategies that resonate with your target audience.

The thing that drives me is being a leader who is detail-oriented and forward thinking. I’m disciplined, deliberative, and strategic in the plans I develop and the actions I take to accomplish those plans.

My goals

Personal Mission Statement

I strive to bring balance and intentionality to everything I do—whether in work, personal growth, or leadership.

I aim to model thoughtful leadership, combining creativity with data-driven insights, while building meaningful connections and delivering measurable results for clients.

Career Goals

My future career goals are to continue advancing in higher education, particularly within international programs, while expanding my expertise in communications, marketing, donor engagement, and student success. I aim to take on leadership roles that allow me to shape global initiatives and develop strategic programs that enhance the experience of students, faculty, and community members. I also plan to pursue a PhD in organizational leadership to strengthen my ability to lead effectively in complex, international contexts.
