Director of Athletics at CCSU. RI native. Stonehill/CCSU grad. #GirlDad to 3 amazing young ladies. We will do this together, as we always do! #GoBlueDevils
Joined June 2012
Take five minutes to listen to this young man. Absolutely incredible. Love, pride, honor, respect, leadership and a remarkable big brother and son. Awe-inspiring. Well done Isaiah, well done. @Nelba_MG π.
Isaiah Marquez-Greene, now 18 years old, survived the Sandy Hook shooting, but his younger sister, Ana Grace, was killed. In a note to his younger self, he reflects on his sisterβs legacy: βImagining who she would be if she were still here will keep her alive in your heart.β

What does it mean to be a @CCSUBlueDevils? Today it meant help w/field prep for 3+ hours for a chance to win another @necbaseball ring! Our @ccsubaseball coaches/players go above and beyond, and then bring home the hardware! Well done gentlemen, and congrats! #GoBlueDevils

I don't know @inkyjohnson, but when you need to hear the truth, understand responsibility, and define leadership and character, he's the guy. His talks are a lesson in perspective, and he continues to lead. Good morning @CCSUBlueDevils, another day to get better. #GoBlueDevils.
Character is not something we inherit. Character is something we have to wake up and build.

There was a quiet confidence about Kevin Oliva that I will always be in awe of. Selflessly gave of himself for the betterment of all @CCSUBlueDevils. His loss is devastating. Be kind to each other, always. Call/tell someone thank you, and that you love them. We lost a great man.
