Colleagues routinely ask about my transition from public accounting to a role that combines business operations and education. Serving as CFO at Concordia Lutheran High School continues to fascinate me and allows the opportunity to bring together my experiences with accounting, business, education, nonprofits and technology. For those whom might have an interest in serving as CFO someday, it’s important to understand how the responsibilities overlap yet differ from the controller.

On top of all of that, we get to wear a cross on our jersey here at Concordia and that’s what it’s all about.

The first day of school, I asked my junior and senior sociology students to tell me what they thought the discipline was. They were much better at telling me what it wasn’t: psychology, anthropology, archaeology or any “hard” science like chemistry or biology.
