How do you stay connected to Sherman? To stay connected, I am a Regent, a ROAR (Reach Out And Recruit) Doctor, and I try to attend Lyceum every year.

Most Memorable Classmate: I had a great class, and picking just one is hard! I still maintain friendships with many of my classmates. When I was at Sherman, there were so many powerhouse students – many of us went on to practice abroad, have successful practices, and have become leaders in the profession.

Favorite Sherman College Instructor: The Sherman faculty are stellar, and I could not pick just one as a favorite. A few instructors that I can remember are Drs. Decken, Penacchio, Moore, Porter, Seay, Gibbon, Guest, and Fehl. (I’m sure I forgot many!)

A Favorite Sherman Memory: I decided to attend Sherman because I went to a Lyceum. During Lyceum, the energy on campus was so palpable, the big top was a fantastic sight to see, and when Reggie Gold explained the power of chiropractic, it resonated with something inside of me that I always suspected was there. I knew it was my place, and chiropractic was my calling.

Favorite Lyceum(s): The times that I attended Lyceum as a student were some of the most memorable. We, as students, would work the event, paint the stage backdrop, set up, pick up speakers from the airport, drive the golf carts for people up and down the hill, give tours, staff the WCCS smoothie booth, attend any speakers we could, and participate in late night “spizz” events under the big top which were followed by bonfires at classmates’ houses where doctors would come and hang out and talk philosophy all night.
