Fred joined the University of Oklahoma in August 2024, where he found not only a fulfilling career but also a supportive and inspiring work environment. He feels especially grateful for the work-life balance his role provides, allowing him to focus on what he treasures most—being a father. His daughter, Carter, is the light of his life and his greatest motivation. For Fred, fatherhood is the role he cherishes above all else.
Outside of work, Fred loves spending quality time with family and friends. A passionate fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, he also enjoys hitting the golf course and diving into the excitement of fantasy football. Fred’s life is a perfect blend of dedication to his career, love for his family, and the joy of his favorite pastimes.
