Meet the Staff

I've had the pleasure to watch Liberty University grow from infancy to be the largest evangelical Christian university in the world. Liberty is a shining "beacon of light" in this dark world that will continue to produce Young Champions for Christ; academically excellent, Biblically sound and morally intact, for many generations to come.

As director of planned giving, I can tell you that this growth has been underwritten by many faithful supporters, many of whom have committed to the future of Liberty University through life income agreements or in their estate plans. There are many ways to give to Liberty through a planned gift and our qualified team is ready to serve you as we discuss your wishes or ideas and explore your options.

I would like to encourage you to contact us so that we can help you become an "Investor in the Vision" of Liberty University.
