Denison Athletics is proud to announce the hiring of Clark Tinder as the Big Red’s new Coordinator of Aquatics Operations and Intramurals. A native of Muncie, Indiana, Tinder joins Denison after three years at fellow North Coast Athletic Conference institution Wabash College.
A 2020 graduate of Wabash College, Tinder returned to his alma mater in 2022 as Assistant Director of Facilities, Equipment, and Game Operations before being promoted to Assistant Athletics Director of Operations in 2024. In these roles, he managed facility operations, coordinated events, and led student staff in supporting varsity and recreational programming.
“I am thrilled to join Denison as the Coordinator of Aquatics Operations and Intramurals,” said Tinder. “My career has always been rooted in supporting the Division III student-athlete experience, and few places do that better than Denison. The history and tradition here are truly inspiring, and I’m excited to grow in this role while creating opportunities that make a real difference for students and the broader Granville community.”
Before returning to Wabash, Tinder worked as a graduate assistant for student development and administration and served on the game day operations staff at Ball State University, where he earned his master’s degree in Sports Administration.
“We’re excited to welcome Clark Tinder to Denison as our new Coordinator of Aquatics Operations and Intramurals,” said Tiffany Ozbun, Assistant Director of Athletics–Internal Operations & Intramurals. “His experience managing high-level athletics operations, combined with a genuine passion for student development, makes him a perfect addition to our team. Clark’s operational expertise and people-first leadership will make an immediate impact in our Aquatics Center and across campus.”
