I am honored to be the first alumnus to serve as President at PBU. In addition to my professional interests and education, I have always been interested in history, politics, and culture and serve as a member of the Board of Governors of the John Jay Institute for Faith, Law and Society in Colorado Springs Colorado. I grew up in Middletown, Pennsylvania where I graduated from Middletown Area High School and am a first generation college graduate. I trusted Christ during my high school years and after that I served several years as Horsemanship and Wilderness Program Director at Camp Hebron in Halifax, Pennsylvania. I met my wife Dawn while working at the camp. We have been married for twenty one years, have two teenagers, Connor and Caitlin, and live in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. As a family we enjoy music, the arts and the outdoors. We spend as much time as we can outside gardening, canoeing, fly-fishing, and hiking. I also enjoy golf and tennis. We attend Westerley Road Church in Princeton, New Jersey.

back on line

I am embarrassed that it’s been so long since my last entry. The past several weeks have been crazy as I've been travelling visiting alumni and donors, planning for next year, and prepping for board meetings. It is hard to believe that spring break is right around the corner. This week we closed Monday due to snow when only the Monday before I was in Florida speaking at a Christian School in Clearwater. I had a very encouraging time at that school and realized that many students have a preconceived notion of what life is like at a place like PBU. The fact is that most of their assumptions were wrong. It gave me a great opportunity to point them to this website and urge them to check us out and even visit if at all possible. I really believe that once students take a closer look they will see something different. On Tuesday I had lunch with a number of students in the President's Dining Room here on campus. We had a great talk, very honest and frank, - about life, the Christian faith, the University, and things ranging from how we define success to how to keep the Bible from becoming just another text book. I am never more certain about what PBU does than when I'm with students and hear them talk, ask questions, and see them processing things in a very genuine way. I enjoyed my time on the road but it is good to be back on line.
