After more than 40 years of professionally and personally rewarding experiences as RIT faculty, it was easy for my wife and me to commit to establishing an endowed scholarship within the College of Health Sciences and Technology.

I've had the pleasure of teaching a diverse population of students and have been routinely impressed with their focus on learning. As such, my wife and I feel it is important to support current and future RIT students both annually and through our estate plans as they negotiate their high-quality educational journeys.

Our daughters both work in the medical field which has resulted in medicine being an integral part of our lives. We decided to direct our endowment to RIT's College of Health Sciences and Technology which focuses on integrating medicine and technology to prepare graduates to meet the needs of the health care system.
