program which has a budget of $14.3-million
and 73 full-time employees. BGSU, which is

(MAC) and Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), is one of 13 programs in the
country which sponsor Division I-A football and compete in men’s and
women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey on the Division I level.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from MAC-member Miami University in 1988 and earned his MBA from the institution
in 1991. He played football for one season before the former linebacker’s
career was cut short due to injury. In 1987-88 and 1990-91, Christopher
was involved as a television color commentator in football and play-byplay voice for men’s ice hockey which aired on regional cable television and
WPTD-TV in Dayton. He also served as a graduate assistant in the Office
of Admissions at Miami in 1990-91.
Christopher, 40, is married to the former Tina Smith of Leetonia, Ohio.
The couple has a son, Zachary, 10, and two daughters, Megan and Allison,
ages 8 and 6.
Christopher, a native of West Lafayette, Ind., had been at Purdue since

in that position since March of 2005 and was accountable for external and
revenue-related areas for Purdue’s $50-million department. In his role, he
oversaw several areas, including development, marketing, promotions and
advertising, athletic licensing and sports information.
Under his leadership, Purdue raised $17.2-million in total giving for Athletics last year. He also played a significant role in a seven-year campus-wide
capital campaign which is in the final two years and is on track to raise
$111 million for Athletics during that period. Projects that have come to
fruition in this time frame include tripling the number of endowed athletic
scholarships and several facility additions or renovations. Among the facility projects are an indoor golf training center, football stadium renovation,
aquatic center, indoor tennis center, and basketball video board campaign.
He also was the advisor for Purdue’s chapter of Athletes-in-Action.
Additionally, Christopher served a period of time as the sport administrator
for Purdue’s men’s and women’s tennis programs. In addition to working
with the teams during this period, he oversaw fundraising and business
planning for the facility which will not only benefit the University, but
will serve as a tennis club for the entire community.
He began his career on the Boilermaker staff as Assistant Director of the
John Purdue Club from 1997-99 and was promoted to Director in 1999.
He was promoted to Assistant A.D. in 2002 and was the program administrator for tennis prior to 2005.
Christopher served as Executive Director for the Society of Professional
Journalists in Greencastle, Ind., from 1994 to 1997 after joining the organization in 1991 as its Marketing and Development Director. During that
time, he managed a staff of 15 and a $1.6-million budget for the nation’s

on external relations, fueling growth that doubled the net worth of the
foundation and association. He also improved relations with SPJ’s 250
local chapters and national volunteer leaders and negotiated contracts and
corporate partnerships.
Prior to joining SPJ, Christopher was an Account Executive at WWWV-FM
in Charlottesville, Va., from 1988-90. In that capacity, he designed and managed station promotions, including partnerships with the athletics program
at the University of Virginia. He also was part of the “Page Program” at
