We’re not just a family.
We’re YOUR higher ed family.






We are the H.E.L.P.ers…our family tree roots run deep.
Dr. Ryan Barnhart is here to flip the script on higher ed leadership, from constituent engagement to academic affairs; from marketing and communications to digital impact; in athletic and academic affairs to everything else higher ed related…oh, and chew bubblegum. Fortunately, he’s out of bubblegum.
Dr. Bruce Barnhart has over 40 years in higher education from faculty roles, department leadership, and significant experience as Chief Academic Officer…he’s not your average boomer, and he rocks a mean bow tie.
Mr. Darren Burns is our resident athletics administration guru, with expertise on student-athlete programming and retention, adopting a winning mindset, and is a top H.E.L.P. coach. He’s got the rings to prove it.
Jessica Krieger-Barnhart, MBA is our social media, marketing, communications, and public relations leader, blazing new paths in emerging social platforms, trends in media and communication, branding and awareness, content, design, and more.
Our proprietary Gen Z guru, Alexis Krieger provides valuable insight into current and future trends for your current and future students and alumni. A true member of the digital generation, she understands where higher ed needs to adapt to reach the students of tomorrow.
And that’s not all…we have a deep roster of professionals with the knowledge, skills, and abilities in areas like staffing, AI and data analytics, enrollment solutions, accreditation and reaffirmation, and more to help provide the guidance, insight, and tactical strategies to win for your institution.
