Why FSU?

Because it is the greatest university in the world.

Motivation to pursue a graduate degree

Career progression.

Importance and impact of research

The importance of my research was to help identify issues in the Risk Management (RM)/ Insurance environments today. Perhaps the information and work I provided to the program will help organizations better identify risk as well as how to mitigate it accordingly.

Advice for prospective graduate students

We are all busy. We get it. There are many excuses we could bring to the table that would distract from your goals and ambitions. Apply for that program and bust your butt to make it work. If I, a dad of five kids under the age of ten, can successfully finish an online graduate program at FSU, anyone can.

Accomplishments during graduate career

I published article in Resources Magazine (still working with editors to get published, therefore I cannot provide a link currently.) Many videos I created are posted to YouTube, and I have assisted others in their programs as well.

Career aspirations

I would like to be a CEO and run a successful company while helping others get where they want to go in their careers.
