Staff Spotlight: Jacob Cullen
 |
| Apparently he knows how to use a hammer |
Before Winona State, he attended Iowa Central Community College where he was a 2 sport-athlete in track and field and cross country. Jacob comes from a very large family. He has 5 brothers and 2 sisters ranging from the oldest being 28 and youngest turning 9 in October. He’s part Pacific Islander, on his father’s side. He absolutely loves being outdoors whether it’s just going for a walk or participating in a various array of outdoor activities and sports. Jacob was volunteering at the School of Recreation’s summer job fair at Winona and I made sure that he had his friend stopped by the North Star booth before they headed off to class. I’m not sure where his friend ended up working for the summer but we’ll make sure that Jacob ended at the right place! He’ll be instructing climbing and canoeing at camp this summer.
