Athletics can be a powerhouse for enrollment, fundraising, and community engagement—if it’s strategically aligned. My consulting work is grounded in a deep understanding of Athletics and its critical role at the intersection of enrollment, advancement, student life, finance and facilities, and academics. I help colleges and universities elevate their athletic programs, from assessing teams, facilities, and leadership to building a winning culture. Whether you’re adding sports, optimizing resources, engaging your Board, or strengthening your VP team, I bring the insight and strategy to turn athletics into a true campus advantage.

As a sole practitioner, I’m personally involved in every aspect of the work. I may occasionally collaborate with other professionals if their expertise complements the goals of the project, but I never delegate the core responsibilities.

Consulting engagements are available on either an hourly or project-fee basis, depending on the scope and needs of the institution.

My Consulting Approach

A SIMPLE YET POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT PROCESS

01

Start By Listening

Gain a clear understanding of the project scope, desired outcomes, and any anticipated challenges.

02

Identify Key Stakeholders

Recognize the people or groups who are impacted by or can influence a project, ensuring the right voices are considered in decisions and communication.

03

Refine Scope Deliverables & Timeline

Set clear expectations, define measurable outcomes, and establish a realistic schedule that keeps your project focused and on track.

04

Campus Visit

Are a key part of my approach, allowing me to engage with a wide range of campus constituents to surface needs, insights, and priorities. These conversations inform thoughtful, actionable recommendations that are tailored to each institution's unique context.
