Campaign Statement

I have spent nearly 40 years in and at The Citadel. I grew up with the values that got us here and I understand that a deep rooted connection to our past and our Traditions is what makes us unique and valuable.

The Alumni are the heart and soul of the school and a strong, functional voice is critical to keeping our brand in the best possible condition and in the hands of individuals that have worked and bled for that reputation.

My mission is to drive value for each member of the CAA by bringing our services home to each member and making your involvement beneficial to you!
