His career is as impressive as
his community involvement. After
serving in the U.S. Army Third Armored
Cavalry Regiment for two years, Jewell
became a trial lawyer at Wayman, Irvin &
McAuley upon earning his Juris Doctor
from the University of Michigan School
of Law. He then became corporate
counsel for Harbison-Walker Refractories
before transitioning to the education
sector at the University of Pittsburgh
where he was first hired to be the assistant
university counsel.
He quickly rose to leadership, being
named president of the Pittsburgh
Applied Research Corporation from
1988 to 1991 and, starting in 1989,
concurrently served as the executive vice
president of the University of Pittsburgh
Trust. He left Pitt in 1991 to serve as
partner, vice president and director of
Peterson Consulting, staying on after
its merger with Navigant Consulting
in 1998. In 2003, he returned to
education to serve as the president of his
undergraduate alma mater, Grove City
College, until his retirement 11 years
later in 2014.
Jewell’s retirement has been a
lively one. He served four years
as commissioner of the Pennsylvania
Gaming Control Board and is the
director of strategic marketing for Berkley
Research Group.
