ATHLETICS

Sport and physical discipline are a part of my life, from my years as a high school and collegiate athlete to the assisting of the development of athletics at Nova Southeastern University and the Head Coaching of the inaugural intercollegiate Cross Country Team and Track Club.

Collegiate Athletics

I competed in intercollegiate athletics at the University of South Carolina and am a member of the USC Letterman Association, a community of alumni who competed in intercollegiate athletics.

Cross Country & Track — Coach and Builder

At Nova Southeastern University I founded and served as inaugural head coach of the varsity cross-country team and the university track club (1983–1989). Building a competitive program from nothing — recruiting athletes, establishing training regimens, navigating university bureaucracy — was as rewarding as any administrative achievement.

Martial Arts

I hold a Third-Degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu. The discipline, respect, and humility that martial arts demands have influenced how I approach other areas of my life.
