Seth’s roots run deep in Monroe-West Monroe. From a young child to a teenager at West Monroe High School, he’s always had a love for his community. Following his family’s legacy, he decided to attend ULM, where his parents were alumni. His decision was also influenced by his desire to run track and field and of course, receive a great education. The decision was made even easier with his brother Nathan being a student-athlete at the university.

When reflecting on his time as a student-athlete, Seth shared numerous cherished memories. One standout moment was during his junior year at Western Kentucky, where his teammate and first friend from Kenya, Moses Chelimo, placed second in the 3000 meters steeplechase at the Sunbelt Conference meet. He also made sure to mention the historic win over the University of Arkansas in 2012 which was the same night his brother Jamin got married!

Today, Seth is back at the university that gave him so many lasting memories. With that maroon and gold love running deep, he serves as the Chief Strategy Officer at the university. His primary responsibility is strategic planning for the university. This includes developing plans for individual groups, such as athletics, where he once served as interim athletic director.

His passion for our area and ULM is deeply personal. He attributes much of his drive to the transformative impact the university had on his life. Influential figures like Dr. Ron Berry, President of ULM, and other mentors like Lisa Miller, Amy Robinson, and his family played pivotal roles in shaping his experience and fueling his dedication to this community.

When asked about his favorite spots in the area, Seth highlighted Alex Latin Foods in West Monroe, a Honduran restaurant he loves. He also emphasized the beauty of ULM’s campus, with its scenic Bayou and welcoming atmosphere.

Seth extends an open invitation to everyone to visit ULM’s campus. With numerous events, including sports, arts, and community activities, there are countless opportunities to experience the vibrant university life.
