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.

UC Santa Cruz is a special place and I’m grateful to be part of such a great Conference Service department for the past 10 years.  Each summer I look forward to building a team of committed, collaborative, and action oriented students who lead the summer conference operation.  We welcome various groups to campus including, sports camps, youth and adult academic groups, family reunions, outreach, and professional development retreats.   Having grown up in Santa Cruz I enjoy all that this area has to offer, from the redwoods to the ocean.  I love to spend time with my son staying busy outside in the garden, hiking at one of the local parks, beach picnics, or listening to live music at a neighborhood brewery.

Working for Conference Services for me means having the privilege of welcoming our guests to one of the greenest and most beautiful university campuses in the world. I never get tired of seeing the excitement of our conferees experiencing the vibrant culture and stunning nature of the UCSC campus for the first time. Outside of work, I love exploring mountain bike trails around the campus, trying new baking recipes, dog-sitting, and hiking with my partner, Sven.

I have been contributing to UCSC’s vision and mission since early 2018. I find it easy to be passionate about my work at UCSC as I enjoy ensuring our students and staff are supported in their individual journeys at our campus. I am blessed daily in my home life with an amazing life-partner and three wonderful school-age children. When not engaged with work and family responsibilities, I am a lifelong gaming nerd, lover of all music and musical performance, and partaker in any sport or outdoor activity that life offers.

I enjoy collaborating to streamline processes and innovate solutions that elevate the overall quality of our conferences. Outside of work, I enjoy paddling/steering 6 person outrigger canoes from the Santa Cruz harbor, which encourages teamwork. I really enjoy being on campus during the summer, meeting all the conference participants, and working with our student staff.
