In their own words…
What is your favorite memory as a UAA/Gator Booster employee?
There are too many championships to single out one sport or event in particular, so I’ll say the best memory is to be able to witness & be inspired by the efforts of some amazing student-athletes and coaches over the years.
What is the best part about your job?
I have several “best parts”… One is being part of an awesome work family that supports and cares about each other. Our staff also understands the importance of the opportunities we’re helping provide our student-athletes. Finally, it’s hard to put a value on the relationships I’ve built and the friends I’ve been blessed with over the past 35 years.
What do you like to do “off the field”?
I love spending time & traveling with my wife, Taryn, and relaxing with our rescue dog, Daisy. I enjoy having dinner & wine with friends, appreciating art, playing golf and quail hunting with friends who’ve become family.
