Masters of Science Program
My professional experience as a demonstrated leader has spanned the past three decades. During that time, I have obtained a multitude of skills pertaining to organizational and individual leadership that have enabled me to successfully guide organizations in the public and private sectors of both corporate and nonprofit businesses. A wide range of my leadership attributes are evinced in my current position as Chief Operations Officer for the entire group of Hightower companies which includes entities dedicated (respectively) to energy, petroleum, construction, and building design/contracting.

I believe that the effect of such a degree program will not only aid my professional career but also enhance my ability to function as a concerned citizen in
society by giving me a professional framework with which to view matters of civic concern such as
homelessness and unemployment -- various
social issues which I have attempted to counteract before.
