And, as someone who personally experienced this opportunity, as did my brothers, my brothers-in-law, my nephew, and my father-in-law, I understand the importance of developing Chaminade Men for our society today. In addition, I’m excited to take 22+ years of consulting – including with many colleges and high schools – and bringing that experience to my work at Chaminade.”
