Meet CSUN's Under Armour Faculty

The CSUN Under Armour Faculty are a group of professors and lecturers committed to assisting student-athletes in their academic success and professional development. The group was started in 2016 by Professor and Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) Ed Jackiewicz and has since grown to nearly 30 faculty members from various majors across campus.

Over the past few years, this group has assisted students through workshops, panel discussions, game attendance and one-on-one conversations. They are here to help you, the students. In the coming months, GoMatadors.com will introduce you to the various members of CSUN's UA Faculty.

I was born in central California and attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for my undergraduate degree in Recreation & Sport Administration. I then left California for a master's degree in Sport Administration at the University of Southern Mississippi. After working in Austin, TX for a few years I moved on to the University of New Mexico earning a Ph.D. in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation with an emphasis in sport administration. I've taught in the field at the doctoral, masters, and undergraduate levels at the University of New Mexico, University of Memphis, and here at CSUN since 2012. I also get to serve as the Executive Director of the CSUN Aquatic Center at Castaic Lake State Recreation Area where we facilitate boating safety and instruction for CSUN students and the general public.

I love spending time with my family (wife and two kids ages 9 and 5) doing outdoor activities and youth sports. I have played and coached soccer at the high school and collegiate club levels and currently volunteer as a head coach and referee with AYSO Soccer and Little League Baseball.
