Day Job:
The highlight of my role as Director of Campus Security is collaborating with a dedicated team of professionals who genuinely care about their work. I oversee the surveillance camera system, campus security services, third-party contracts, and all university-related security services. My responsibilities include conducting comprehensive security assessments and consistently exploring strategies to deter, detect, delay, and respond to security threats, ensuring our institution remains one of the safest places in the nation to work and learn. Additionally, I manage the night security shuttle and the closed-circuit television program, and I assist in emergency response efforts on campus.
Favorite Auburn Experience:
Throughout my 25-year military career, which took me all over the country and around the world, Auburn athletics was a vital connection to my home state and family. One of my fondest memories is watching the 2010 National Championship game from our home in Juneau, Alaska, where I had the chance to share the excitement of Auburn University and football with the locals. Now that I work at Auburn, experiencing the games in person—often with my family—is a true highlight of my time here.
Interests:
I love sports, hiking and just being outside. A not so common hobby I have is railroad history. My grandfather and two great-grandfathers worked for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad all their collective adult lives, so I have a keen interest in the L&N. I have been working on a history of the Alabama Mineral Railroad, which the L&N operated, for about 20-years and hope to have it published one day.
