The following is the only information on Haupert found on Huntington’s website:

Vincent Haupert, the vice president for advancement, shares the story of Huntington University’s mission and programs with potential and current investors, inviting them to make a difference and contribute to the University’s future. A 1990 Huntington College grad, Vincent used his degree in business management as a financial advisor and wealth manager prior to coming to work at his alma mater. Someday, he hopes to be a missionary in the country of Belize.

In his free time, Vincent enjoys a variety of activities, including singing and leading worship as well as a host of athletic activities such as biking, snow skiing, target shooting and riding a dirt bike. He and his wife, Liesl, live in Huntington and have three adult children. Vincent’s time at Huntington University has been formative for him, especially the day he discovered his favorite Bible verses (Heb. 4:15-16) while studying in RichLyn Library.

Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian liberal arts college in northeast Indiana, about 30 minutes southwest of Fort Wayne.
