As a university lecturer, he has taught reality-based capstone courses pairing business clients with student teams to develop comprehensive public relations and marketing strategies. Oldham has earned several awards as a USU faculty member.

Prior to Utah State University, Oldham spent 11 years working for Microsoft Corporation in sales, marketing, and management positions in the United States and overseas. 

“I am thrilled to work with the team at Logan Regional Hospital,” said Oldham. “The medical staff, administration, and foundation representatives are the best anywhere, and they are our neighbors, friends, and community leaders. I look forward to sharing our many positive stories as we work with the community to further expand the value the hospital contributes to our valley.”

A Logan native, Oldham attended Logan High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in communications at Utah State University. He then completed a master’s degree in international management from the American Graduate School of International Management, Thunderbird Campus, in Glendale, Arizona.
Oldham is actively involved in the Cache Valley community. He recently served as a board member of the Beaver Mountain Ski Patrol and is currently an outdoor emergency care instructor with the National Ski Patrol. He also serves as a director of the USU Alumni Executive Council. In addition, Oldham has managed multiple student teams leading public relations and marketing events in the community, including Ryan’s Place Park, Adventure Playground, and ABC Television’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Oldham participates in a range of adventure sports, from skiing and snowboarding to mountain and road biking. He also enjoys windsurfing, snow and water kiting, and scuba diving around the world. Oldham said his biggest thrill comes from spending time with his wife, Anita, and their four children. He and his family live in North Logan.
