"It was immediately clear to me that Manhattanville has everything it takes to compete at the highest level of college athletics; a beautiful campus, an outstanding academic reputation, top-class facilities and incredible support from our athletic administration. I am honored to lead this program, and can't wait to build relationships with our student-athletes to help them compete for championships on the field and achieve excellence in the classroom."
