Matt James is the Vice President of Alumni Relations at The Marshall University Foundation where he serves as the chief ambassador and "friend-raiser" to the 120,000+ Thundering Herd alumni living around the world. Aside from work, Matt enjoys family time with his wife, Sara, their two-year-old daughter, Saylor, and two wiener dog sons, Chip & Charlie. Matt has zero pumpkin carving skills, but he loves a good pumpkin spice latte! His main goal is to raise a little money while representing Marshall!
