What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

The solidarity shown by the UNMC community in the aftermath of 11 September 2001.

Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

Actually two, in a way: Working Together and Trusted Resource. When my father was dying last year, I sought some end-of-life advice from various authorities on campus; their help (free-of-charge) was invaluable for my family.

List three things people may not know about you.

  • I have three-and-a-half year-old twins; one boy and one girl. It’s interesting in that they make me feel both young and old at the same time.
  • I worked for NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and the European Space Agency in Noordwijk, The Netherlands for ten years, all told.
  • Up until recently, I was a guitar player in four bands concurrently. I’m down to a mere two at this point, and that’s just swell.
