Dr. Diller started his career as an athletic trainer, working in an out-patient physical
therapy practice and in high school/junior college athletics. Since then he has enjoyed
18 years in Christian higher education in a variety of administrative and educational
roles, beginning in collegiate athletics. He has transitioned through faculty and
administrative roles over the past decade in student development, six of which were
at PBA as the director of health and wellness. Dr. Diller has received regional and
national awards in athletic training and in student affairs, and has routinely presented
at regional and national conferences on student retention, student/university crisis
response, and general health education topics. For the past five years Dr. Diller
and his wife Michele (a former PBA resident director) have lived in Nashville, Tennessee
where they served as foster parents for a sibling set of four boys, whom they adopted
in late 2013 and early 2014. As the proud new parents of Casper, Jayden, Peyton, and
Robert, they have returned to their former West Palm Beach home, their church (Lake
Osborne Presbyterian), and now to PBA.
