Unbeknownst to me at the time, Dave Hart was the sole architect of my success as a student-athlete at Florida State University, and ultimately my career as an intercollegiate athletics administrator. As a student-athlete, Mr. Hart was supportive of all student-athletes and would be regularly visible throughout my career. He challenged all of us, coaches, student-athletes and staff to be the best versions of ourselves every day. Mr. Hart created a culture where student-athletes were always at the forefront of any decisions made and that permeated through my experiences with my coaches and support staff as a student-athlete. He saw leadership potential in me and took the time to mentor me and prepare me for life after sport. I was also fortunate enough to serve as the Chair of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council on campus and for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Within that role, I met with Mr. Hart on a regular basis to discuss the student-athlete experience and how the administration could position themselves to foster an environment of comprehensive excellence. Beyond my time as a student-athlete, Mr. Hart prepared me for a career after graduation. I will be forever grateful for how he treated me, my teammates, and my family. I approach my current role as a Senior level administrator with the same intention and passion he has for the personal development of the young men and women I serve.
