Hello, my name is Don Sprouse and I am thrilled to be a professor. Ever since my 20s, my goal has been to share my knowledge with the next generation as an instructor. Holding a bachelor's degree in marketing, a master's in business administration, and a background in graphic design, I have had a diverse career path.

Beginning in sales and account management, I gained valuable experience in interacting with individuals from various backgrounds across the United States. Transitioning to digital marketing, I served as a creative director and operated a freelance digital graphic design agency. Eventually, I founded and operated an online fitness company, selling fitness equipment through Amazon and directly to personal training studios and individuals building home gyms.

My background as a business owner has greatly influenced my approach as an educator. I am a firm believer in offering students real-world insights from someone who has personally faced the trials and triumphs of launching and running a business. By openly sharing both the setbacks and the successful decisions made along the way, I aim to provide students with an authentic understanding of the entrepreneurial journey.

Outside of teaching, I have a passion for LEGO, physical fitness, and outdoor adventures such as mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, and surfing. Graphic design and photography are also hobbies that hold a special place in my heart.
