A little bit about me

My name is Justin McCurdy.  I am a first year grad student.  I am also a graduate assistant at the Kutztown University Small Business Development Center.  I received my undergrad degree from Kutztown last May.  I majored in Marketing with a certificate in Advertising.  My favorite sport to play is Ultimate although I will play almost any sport.  If you don’t know, Ultimate refers to Ultimate Frisbee.  I also love to just toss the Frisbee around so if anyone is interested just let me know.  My blog name refers to Don Draper of Mad Men.  If I could work for him at Sterling Cooper Draper and Price I definitely would.  If you have never seen the show I definitely recommend it.  If you couldn’t tell I am interested in advertising and hope to be a creative director some day.  That is sort of why I am in the MBA program.  I think that having an MBA will give me the ability to be well rounded and also give me the edge. 

When I was in high school my dad helped me work on and restore my first car.  It took about two years to fully restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback.  It is one of my biggest accomplishments.  It is painted a dark metallic green with white racing stripes.  Unfortunately I don’t get to drive it much since I am here at Kutztown.  If you have any questions about it just ask.  This leads me to say that I am from New Jersey.  Please don’t hold it against me.  I’ve endured four years of it already.

  1. Ahh, Ultimate Frisbee. Now that is a great sport my friend. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play as much as I wanted to this year. I've been more involved with rock climbing and hiking. I've always got a Frisbee in my car if you're ever interested in throwing around.

    I've also heard Mad Men is a great show, but I haven't had the chance to watch it. Hah, I'm also from New Jersey. Cape May Court House to be precise - we used to have a pretty good Frisbee league in high school. I wonder if you ever ventured across it. Although, I am happy to say I've been in Pennsylvania for over four years now and only visit New Jersey a few times a year.

  2. I am also a graduate assistant here at KU. I am currently working in the Sports Information office; a department I worked in for three years as an undergrad and am looking to turn into a career. I graduated with my BSBA as well with a concentration in management and was hoping to get my certificate in advertising. Unfortunately due to lack of course availability, I was unable to achieve that particular certificate. Congrats on the Mustang! That is a goal that many have tried and given up on.

  3. It is nice to see an interest in automobiles. My father runs a frame off british car restoration shop. I too have worked on some fun cars. it is very satisfying to see a final project.

  4. Ultimate Frisbee looks so cool ! I have never seen someone play this sport before. I'd like to search some videos about the Ultimate Frisbee at youtube.
