I have always had an interest in higher education. I retired from 40 years on the IT staff in an academic department at the University of Washington. As a regent, I will look forward to supporting educational excellence at Concordia University Irvine for all students while strengthening its Lutheran distinctiveness and support of future church workers for the Synod.
