Retired Health Care Executive

"I volunteer because it's an opportunity to give back to the school that gave so much to me.  I was fortunate to play soccer at OWU for an incredible man named Jay Martin. He helped a lot of people grow up, and although I didn't know it at the time, he taught me more about teamwork, how to deal with people and difficult situations, than any person I've met.  Over my business career, I often thought back to conversations I had with him, when I faced difficult decisions or discussions. It's people like him, that made OWU such a great place for me to spend my college career."
