leadership experience and will lead the Rams as their new head cross

"Cross
Country is similar to the race of life we are all running spiritually,"
said Roberts. "It takes discipline, personal integrity and commitment
to reach the prize and I am looking forward to bringing my running
experience and leadership experience to the team at my Alma matter."
Roberts
is the owner of Techpacity, a multimedia business that provides
corporate video production, public relation services, web design and
other
media related services.
Roberts
served fulltime at Destiny Outreach ministries for six and a half years
as executive pastor under Pastor Steve Branch where he gave oversight
to the ministry teams within the church.
Roberts
earned his Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Bluefield College in
2001. He resides in Tazewell, Va., with his wife, Rebekah Roberts
and their two children, Carter (7) and Albany (2).
