“I could not have imaged a school better suited for me than the University of Vermont. UVM felt right from the first day I arrived on campus. As a student, I enjoyed playing intramural sports, and I spent many hours in Patrick Gym watching the UVM Men’s Basketball team, with Tom Brennan coaching players such as Kevin Roberson ‘93 and Matt Johnson ‘91. UVM has always been such a tight-knit community and I still feel that connection to this day. My time at UVM holds great meaning for me.

I always felt that UVM does things the right way, the importance of which I instill upon my children. Winning is great, but only if it is done right. At UVM, we care about winning, but we care more about winning with integrity. That is why I decided to name the UVM Men’s Basketball Excellence Fund as a beneficiary in my Will. Leaving a legacy to UVM is super easy, and has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I like knowing I have a plan in place to support something that is important."
