    I joined the Conference Services team in 2008 after working on the campus as a student for 4 years. I get great joy welcoming new and returning groups to our beautiful campus. There are not many campuses that you can walk from a redwood forest to a great meadow and then down to a beach. When not working, I enjoy photography, cooking, playing/watching sports and spending time with my wife, Caitlin and our pug, Moose.

    What I love about the UCSC campus is the wide array of amenities our groups can utilize while immersed in a retreat-like setting. Our beautiful facilities are harmoniously incorporated into the landscape, providing a serene and memorable experience for our summer guests.

    As a Santa Cruz native, I feel fortunate to be part of the UCSC Conference Services team. I enjoy summers on campus, from the foggy mornings, to the sunny afternoons, and closing the day with a gorgeous sunset over the Pacific Ocean. I'm delighted to be able to be apart of so many different type of groups, from sports to academics and assist the conferees in discovering all the campus and surrounding areas have to offer.


Mission Statement

The purpose of UCSC's Conference Services is to support the goals of the Colleges, Housing and Educational Services. This is achieved by utilizing campus facilities on a year-round basis and by planning, organizing and implementing academic, outreach, sport and professional programs and conferences. This generates income that helps to reduce the cost of housing to students during the academic year as well as providing summer employment for students.
