About

Hi there, and welcome!
Since 2014 I've been helping colleges and universities grow their enrollment, helping managers strengthen their team, and helping prepare the next generation of Higher Ed professionals for future leadership opportunities.
I launched Top Tier Higher Ed in 2025 with the goal of continuing to mentor, serve and provide schools with advanced training and communication solutions that help them ‘ladder up’ and reach the top tier professionally and personally.
What makes me different from other external partners or ‘vendors’ is simple. You’ll never feel like a ticket number or like you're not important. I believe in putting others first and that investing in great relationships pays a lifetime of dividends. Numerous clients say my communication, passion, energy, and commitment to their success are unmatched in the Higher Ed marketplace.
All of the strategies I focus on are audience-centered and come from a research-based approach that consistently utilizes feedback straight from the source – prospective and current students, as well as parents and families.
I’m an experienced speaker who has also keynoted and spoken at numerous ACAC and other Higher Ed admissions and marketing conferences, and I host the award-winning Mission Admissions podcast.
Some FUN FACTS about me:
-
I’ve been to every U.S. state but two
-
I was previously a men’s College Basketball Coach for 8 years
-
I also have experience as a High School College and Career Counselor
