Jeff Baynham, 2008
I am in Bowling Green, Ky., about 70 miles north of Nashville, Tenn. I work for my alma mater, Western Kentucky University (WKU). I am the Manager of Advancement Services. Basically, my office is responsible for processing all of the donations to the University and managing the alumni/donor database. I graduated in 2002 with a degree in finance. This year marks my 13th year in Bowling Green, making it the longest place I’ve lived for any one time and I guess now “home.”
A few things you should know about me: I’m a huge fan of the WKU Hilltoppers. I have season tickets to basketball, football and baseball. I am pretty passionate about my Hilltoppers. My home office is even a dedicated WKU room, decked out with all sorts of WKU memorabilia. I’ve been fortunate enough to follow the Hilltoppers on the road to witnes several memoriable moments, including the Pontiac Game Changing Performance buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Ty Rogers (ESPY winner) in the 2008 NCAA Tournament against Drake. In 2009 I also followed the Hilltoppers to the second round in Portland, Ore.
I am also a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan. I make numerous trips to Wrigley Field each summer to cheer my Cubbies on. Living eight years of my early childhood in Illinois justifies my love for the Cubs.

A new adventure for me is that of an advisor for Phi Gamma Delta at Western Kentucky University. Last fall I was initiated as a graduate into the colony. I sit on the Board of Colony Advisors where I advise the undergraduates in philanthropy, graduate relations and fundraising. It has been a very rewarding endeavor for me.
I love music! My favorite artists include: Ben Folds, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., and The Muckrakers. You can explore my musical interests by looking at my Last.fm page.
My all-time favorite show is Seinfeld. I got to see Jerry Seinfeld live in May of 2008 and again in February of 2009 and it was incredible! Other favorite shows include: The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Two and Half Men and Big Bang Theory. .
My other interests include camping and hiking at Mammoth Cave, playing tennis and racquetball, graphic design (you can see my feudal attempt), traveling as much as I can, hanging with friends at local coffee shops, watching college basketball and football.
