As the top assistant on the Panthers' coaching staff, I was proud to spark a dramatic academic turnaround. By incorporating core principles into our daily meetings and facilitating thoughtful and action-oriented discussions, we motivated institutional change. The student athletes worked hard to earn the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award as one of only 15 Division I schools to earn that accolade for the 2016-2017 year.I assisted in leading a 10-member staff and managed the recruiting program. I also took the initiative to tackle a significant budget shortfall that was impacting the school’s recruiting mission. To do this, I assisted in promoting the Milwaukee Basketball golf outing that raised $22,000 and also negotiated a schedule of non- conference games that secured an additional $240,000.For the larger organization, I served on the department’s hiring committee and reviewed résumés, participated in interviews with 100+ applicants per job, evaluated candidate qualifications, and prepared recommendations regarding 7 new hires in 14 months.

My capabilities in managing recruiting operations were honed during my experience as an Assistant Coach at these private and public Division I programs.During these assignments, my primary duties were to build trust-based networking relationships with diverse high school, AAU, and junior college coaches, players, and families. As in many organizations, the competition for top tier talent was quite intense and I helped build a foundation to compete against programs with budgets that were 400% larger.Some of the initiatives I completed include:- Collaborating to raise $9 million in private and corporate donations for a new facility.- Establishing an internship program to enable student-athletes to explore business career opportunities before the conclusion of their athletic eligibility.- Emphasizing a culture of accountability and work ethic that helped one of my programs increase its graduation rate to #17 in the US and #2 in the state.- Working closely with university compliance staff to ensure that the competitive schedule and the recruiting program complied with university and NCAA rules and requirements.-Establishing recruiting ties in Europe and participating in extensive international travel.

- Part of a staff with two straight NCAA appearances - Monitored the academic progress for student-athletesImmediately after graduation I had the opportunity manage the full scope of logistics for Marquette’s recruiting initiatives. In addition, I also managed and directed four basketball camps per year. With each camp supporting an average of 400 participants each, I developed plans to successfully deliver challenging and age-appropriate skills instruction. This included recruiting, training, and supervising 100 camp staff, marketing the camps, determining daily schedules and procedures, coordinating logistics and facility use, and maintaining administrative records.
