I love being able to use my 35 years of successful experience in college athletics leadership, including 28 as a successful administrator and 20 years as a successful athletics director to help others! The reason I chose to work with Athletics Staffing and Consultants is because of the culture of providing more value for our clients for less and after 4 years with ASC, I am highly confident we do that!

A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo led the Lakers to the top of NCAA Division II athletics. Grand Valley State finished among the top two in the Learfield Sports/NACDA Directors' Cup standings for 15 consecutive years, including eight straight titles (2003-04 to 2010-11) and winning 11 of the last 13. The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Learfield Sports and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country.

In addition, GVSU won 18 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Presidents' Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 16-team GLIAC. The Lakers' 23 all-time Presidents' Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State, which won 45 GLIAC titles prior to Selgo's arrival, won 174 GLIAC titles since Selgo was appointed Athletic Director in 1996.

A well-respected leader in college athletics throughout his career, Selgo served on the NCAA DII Management Council for four years (2007-11), including serving as Chair of the Management Council in 2009. A term on the NCAA DII Management Council is the highest position is DII athletics. He was named the NACDA Division II AD of the Year for the Central Region in 2012-13, while also being named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07.

Selgo was a key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. Lubbers Stadium was renovated during the summer of 2011, adding seats to increase capacity to 10,550, as well as installing a new FieldTurf artificial surface. A new outdoor track & field/lacrosse stadium was opened in the fall of 2011, while the Kelly Family Sports Center, which opened for all university activities in August 2008 was spearheaded by Selgo. The KFCS allows GVSU

academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather.

The 137,662 square foot facility has a 100 x 55-yard FieldTurf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began to play on its new field in 2008 and the Laker baseball field added stadium seating behind home plate in 2010. GVSU expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and a new scoreboard with a ProStar video display board in 2002.

Selgo was part of two MAC Championship teams (1978-79 and 1979-80) and was co-captain of the `79-80 squad. He earned Mid-American Conference All- Academic honors in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and was named Senior Scholar/Athlete-of-the-Year at Toledo in 1980.

He also holds the Toledo career free throw percentage record in MAC games, hitting 86.1 percent (62-of-72) and the single-season Rocket mark for MAC games of 93.9 percent (31-of-33).

Following his graduation in 1980, Selgo remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men's basketball program and earned his master's degree in education administration in 1982.
