Office of the President
Hello T-Birds, faculty, staff, and community friends,
It’s an honor to serve as the president of Casper College—a place I’ve been proud to call home for over a decade. From my early days as a psychology instructor to my time as dean and vice president, and now as president, I’ve come to know this college not just as an institution but as a vibrant, inclusive, and deeply student-centered community.
At the heart of everything we do here is one guiding principle: Students First. Whether pursuing a degree, building a new skill, or simply exploring your next steps, Casper College is here to support your journey. Our mission goes far beyond academic success. We aim to create a space where you feel seen, valued, and equipped to make a meaningful impact on the world.
I believe that education is the cornerstone of our dreams and aspirations. It unlocks opportunities, bridges divides, and empowers individuals to reach further and achieve more than they ever thought possible. That belief isn’t just professional—it’s personal. My own path has been shaped by the mentors, students, and colleagues who challenged me to grow and to lead with purpose.
We are stepping into a new chapter at Casper College—one defined by possibility, progress, and shared purpose. Guided by a strategic plan rooted in excellence and innovation, we are strengthening what we do best, welcoming fresh ideas, and advancing with an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement. And we’ll do it together—united by our mission and a collective belief in the transformative power of education.
To our students: You are the reason we’re here. You inspire us every day with your goals, your grit, and your growth. To our faculty and staff: Your expertise and care shape lives and define this institution. And to our community: Thank you for your continued partnership and belief in what Casper College represents—opportunity, service, and education for a lifetime.
With gratitude and enthusiasm,
