In Memoriam: The summer before his sophomore year at the UA, my brother Ben
was killed in a car accident. In his memory, my wife, Lindsay Hesketh ’09 ’11 ’14, and
I established a scholarship in the history department.
Gifts with Meaning: Lindsay and I married on Ben’s birthday and asked guests to
donate to the scholarship fund in Ben’s name instead of giving us gifts. Our family
and friends really came together.
A Humbling Experience: Lindsay and I met a scholarship recipient who aspires to
become a high school teacher, which is awesome because it really hits on our values
for promoting the liberal arts and supporting public education.
A Proud Alumnus: The UA offers an affordable world-class education, and I’m very
proud of that. The UA put me in a position to succeed for the rest of my life.
