I am enjoying my eighteenth year of full-time commitment to Academic Affairs, currently serving as Provost and tenured Professor at Athens State University, the premier destination for adult transfer students seeking the highest quality education and cutting-edge learning at the most affordable cost. I began my current position with over 30 years of university teaching, 23 years in full-time college administration, and 18 years as a tenured faculty member at private and public institutions ranging from 800 to 40,000 students.

Currently, the rewarding work of ensuring pathways to bachelor’s and master’s degrees for working adults keeps me personally inspired and professionally motivated.
