Tobias is a Mississippi native who comes to UMF after more than 20 years working to protect individuals’ rights and liberties and to ensure institutional fairness and equality.

He worked previously as a newspaper reporter in Mississippi, a human rights investigator in Atlanta, and a homeless services provider in Washington D.C. while attending law school.
