Join me as I interview my former boss who has worked in the world of higher education and recreation at various collegiate campuses for over 15 years. He shares with us how he started on his career path, how he manages people, and how he has worked his way from small town Colorado to a campus with a top Rec program and over 40,000 students. And of course we discuss how he and his team are managing the current social distancing and coronavirus world that we currently live in.
