We still have more work to do,” Rosenthal said. “If there is a challenge I am really attaching my name to it is the idea that I want to take this program to the `Sweet 16’ and beyond. “That is what I tell our recruits. It sounds absolutely crazy to most, but where we are today sounded crazy to most people 12 years ago.”

Born in Burbank, California, Rosenthal got his first taste of the sport of volleyball on the West Coast. When his family moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he spearheaded a drive to add volleyball to the varsity programs at his high school. His West Coast roots led him back to the “Golden State” for college where he continued his love for the game by playing club volleyball at Pepperdine. Rosenthal went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, before earning a Master of Business Administration degree from Lipscomb.

Even though Rosenthal has lived in several parts of the United States, he counts Lipscomb and Nashville as home.

“I think Lipscomb is a very special place,” Rosenthal said. “We are doing unbelievable things on the court. But we are doing equally as unbelievable things off the court.

“We are winning. We are getting good grades. We are doing things in the community. We are serving the mission of the University.”

Rosenthal and his wife, Kate, live in Nashville. They have a daughter, Jake, and a son, Jack.
