"The position was posted on the SBU website immediately after the announcement that Mike Pitts had accepted the assistant director of athletics for operations. I am very excited that Justin applied for this position," commented Good. "Justin has worked very closely with SBU athletics in many ways. Justin is known as the 'Voice of the Bearcats', serving as our public address announcer for football and basketball. He's also the announcer for Bolivar Liberator varsity football. Justin has many strengths which will enhance SBU athletics."

Prior to moving into athletics, Justin served in the SBU marketing and communications office, designing the layout of SBU Life, admissions recruiting materials, department brochures along with the covers for the athletics media guides, sports schedule posters and cards. Justin has a strong background in graphics and publication design, as well as experience in web design. He will complete his duties in the marketing office and join the athletics staff beginning January 1, 2009, handling all athletics media relations.

"I want to thank those on the athletics staff who have taken on extra duties during this transitional time," expressed Good, "I feel this will be a good time to make this transition as the fall sports have ended and the winter sports are beginning. I look forward to working with Justin, and I know he will be a great asset to the department of athletics, SBU, and the Bolivar, Springfield, and surrounding areas.

"SBU President Dr. C. Pat Taylor added, "Justin has been a great employee for SBU. He has done an outstanding job for us in graphic design, and he is going to be a great asset to the athletics department as the new assistant to the director of athletics for media relations. He is well-known with the local media, so this should be a very smooth transition. I also want to express my appreciation to Mike Pitts for the outstanding job he has done as the assistant to the director of athletics for media relations."
