As most of you know, I retired from UNL in June of 2015. I’ve moved to Alexandria, Virginia as my wife, Belinda, works in DC for the National Office of Headstart…and I don’t work! Retired life has been fun and interesting. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the East Coast and the DC area in particular. Lots of things to see and do!
We’ve joined the Mount Vernon Country Club here in Alexandria, VA. So golf is still an important part of my life and how I spend my time! Let me know if any of you are ever in this area and we’ll get a round of golf played.
While retirement has been fine, I do miss the interactions with students and colleagues. I can say that the six years I spent in the PGA Golf Management (PGM) Program were the most rewarding of my 38-year career. The opportunity to work with excellent staff members and students who were preparing for a career in the golf industry was a true blessing. It was always fun to be in the classroom or on the golf course with students. I particularly enjoyed the opportunities to visit students on internships, and hope that students who intern on the East Coast will let me know and I’ll try to visit them. I do keep track of happenings in the PGM program through Facebook and the website, so keep up the good work!
While I indicated I’m not really working now, I will still keep a bit involved in the PGM programs as the PGA has asked me to be part of its accreditation review team, so I’ll have the opportunity to visit some of the other PGM schools.
