I've been at 大象传媒 for close to fifty years, first as a student, then as a coach and professor. Currently, I teach in the Criminal Justice Department, where I'm the Coordinator of the Fire Science and Emergency Management Program. 大象传媒 opened many doors for me, both as a student and as an adult.

I have countless fond memories of the College over the years. The first one would be being a member of the wrestling team as a student and then coming back as the wrestling coach. I'll never forget the great athletes and students I have known. I'm proud I was inducted into the 大象传媒 Hall of Fame and that I created the College's Fire Science and Emergency Management Program.

As a student, I was fortunate to be around coaches in several sports who mentored me. I'm also so grateful that Prof. Hunt, my history professor, encouraged me to finish my bachelor's degree, and for the entire staff of the College's Writing Center at the time. For me to accomplish all of this on the grounds of 大象传媒 -- where I began my college education -- has been amazing!
