Professor Owen Fritz began with Tiffin University in the Fall of 2015 as an affiliate professor for the School of Business, in the areas of Computer Information Systems and Economics.

In the Spring of 2018, he became a full-time faculty member within the Computer Information Systems program.

Owen is proud to have worked alongside Dr. George Miller in bringing Microsoft Office Certification programs to Tiffin University, so that students can display the skills acquired from the University as they enter the workplace.

Owen is continuing his educational journey by pursuing his Ph.D. in Business Administration, with a specialization in Management Information Systems from Northcentral University.

His research interests include Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) & Generation Z, Technological Social Responsibility and Office Applications in the Workplace.

Before academia, Owen has worked a variety of different jobs that have allowed him to develop a wealth of knowledge to pass on to students entering the field. Professor Fritz is a graduate of Tiffin University and is proud to be a #dragonforlife!

Outside of the University, he has many different passions and interests that keep him involved in the community. One passion is weather, and Owen is responsible for the Sandusky County Skywarn (Storm Spotters) program that falls under the Sandusky County Emergency Management Agency.

Also, he is an Asst. Emergency Coordinator for the Sandusky County Amateur Radio Emergency Service program, which is a backup communications system when disasters should occur.

Owen is also an avid fan of basketball, as you can see him at most Dragon home games working scoring at the table. He also keeps the score for a local boys’ basketball program.
