“I diversified our family business from just relying on country club sales, and expanded our company into the sports arena and college/university market,” the 2002 graduate says. “This has added over a $1 million in sales over the past five years. It has also kept me involved in area I have great personal interest - SPORTS!”

Attracted to Alma by the size, professors and campus, Linsell credits Professor of Communication Micheal Vickery with challenging him and providing leadership.

“I have to do a number of presentations for work,” he says. “The communication program taught me how to speak well and how to read a room, along with a number of other valuable lessons.”

While at Alma, Linsell was a member of the swim team.

“This portion of my college experience has left me with great friends and memories I will cherish forever,” he says.
