"The University of Nebraska, Kearney's KSS Department was challenging and provided me with a realistic approach to learning.  The program gave me the foundation to pursue my passion for working in the sports industry.  The knowledge I gained has helped me find a position with the Utah Section PGA immediately after graduation."
