THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST, TCU.

As I step into the role of TCU’s 11th chancellor, I am deeply grateful for your confidence and for the privilege of leading this remarkable community.

My late father, Gary, was one of those rare people who put others first and made everyone around him feel more capable. His example of selfless service continues to shape how I lead. To invest in TCU is to embrace the responsibility of servant leadership, which means listening first, empowering others and leaning into courage and humility.

That approach strengthens not only our work but also our shared purpose, which is to prepare students not just for meaningful careers but for lives defined by integrity, leadership and service. Education is about more than what we know — it is about who we can become and the difference we can make.

The TCU of today and tomorrow is a place where purpose is honored, curiosity is celebrated and our founding tradition of investing in others carries forward. This community has invested in me more than anywhere else, and it is now my privilege to serve deeply alongside all of you.

Lead On and Go Frogs!
