Executive Leadership
Tasked with lighting the way for all of Facilities Services, the Executive Leadership team guides our staff, advocates for our campus, and works to advance our community through the stewardship of state resources.
Carrying the Torch
As the university’s dedicated facilities stewards, our mission is to plan, construct, and maintain its physical resources and environments to fully support and promote the University of Tennessee’s Vol Vision, implement its long-range Master Plan, and embody the attributes of a modern R1 land-grant university.
To uphold this mission, Facilities Services relies on the leadership of our executive team to carry out the work required to keep campus going and growing. Each of our units report to an executive leader, and as a whole, this team serves to advise and advocate for Facilities Services and our campus at large.
