CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College will welcome alumnus Greg Logsdon ‘91 back to campus as this year’s Konneker Leader in Residence. Logsdon will deliver his keynote presentation, “It Ain’t About the Money,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, in the Merillat Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.
The Leader in Residence program is made possible by the Wilfred and Ann Lee Konneker Leadership Initiative, which provides a supportive, values-based learning environment where students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to work with and through others to accomplish mutual goals.
A standout student-athlete, entrepreneur, coach, and philanthropist, Logsdon’s journey from northeast Missouri to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame reflects a career defined by leadership, mentorship and community impact.
“Greg’s story is a powerful example of what it means to live out the Culver-Stockton mission,” said Dr. Lauren Schellenberger, President of Culver-Stockton College. “His success in athletics, business and service, and his commitment to investing in others along the way, embodies the kind of purpose-driven leadership we hope to inspire in every student on the Hill.”
A 1987 graduate of Highland High School (Lewistown, Mo.), Logsdon set scoring records that stood for more than three decades before continuing his basketball career at Culver-Stockton on scholarship. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the College and later completed a master’s degree in education, a master’s degree in business administration and a degree in exercise physiology from the University of Missouri.
Logsdon has dedicated much of his life to athletics, coaching approximately 1,200 games across multiple levels of competition. He served as a Nike EYBL coach for the Missouri Phenom—one of only 32 Nike-sponsored clubs in the nation—and founded the Missouri Stealth national fastpitch program, which grew to 22 teams and helped secure numerous collegiate scholarships for young women. His contributions to youth and amateur athletics culminated in his induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
In addition to coaching, Logsdon has built a dual career in real estate and medical sales. He has spent more than 20 years in the medical device industry and currently serves as a distributor for Globus Medical.
Logsdon has remained closely connected to his community, supporting local student-athletes and programs, including funding state championship rings for Highland girls’ golf and softball teams.
In 2025, he published “It Ain’t About the Money: A Coach’s Quest for Purpose, Impact, and Cultivating a Life That Matters,” a book that reflects his philosophy on leadership, relationships and service.
As Konneker Leader in Residence, Logsdon will share insights from his experiences in athletics, business and community engagement, offering students a perspective on purpose-driven leadership and professional development.
