| The Hoogenbooms |
Early this May, Dan Hoogenboom re-joined the University as a project manager in UVAFinance, bringing experience gained from stints in both engineering consulting and community/economic development planning. Sandwiched in between those positions was his previous time at UVA, in the College of Arts and Sciences, where he was a fiscal administrator.
Hoogenboom’s work experience managing projects, people, finances, and above all, the needs of various stakeholder groups, makes him a great fit for his new position within UVAFinance.
“I was drawn to this position because of my previous experience with the University and because I’m committed to continuous improvement,” he says, adding, “it’s exciting to take on projects from start to finish and see how it can positively affect everyone on our team.”
Hoogenboom is a 2013 graduate of Virginia Tech, with a BA in Public and Urban Affairs. After originally pursuing a career in urban design, he found that what he most enjoyed was opportunities to work collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and interests toward a common goal, and a return to higher education was a happy byproduct of this realization.
Hoogenboom and his wife Caroline are expecting baby #2 in July; their two-year-old son Nate is eagerly awaiting becoming a big brother (no word on what the family’s three cats think of another small Hoogenboom). They enjoy traveling both in the States and internationally (they’ve been to Europe and Africa, to name a few places), and spending a lot of time outside. Hoogenboom also enjoys college sports and playing golf.
