Alum Lands Dream Job; Returns to Exeter to Inspire JH Students

October 29, 2021

When Exeter alumnus Aidan Obritz '15 returned to Exeter Township Junior High this past week, he probably never thought he'd be welcomed like a celebrity, but students certainly treated him like one when they immediately launched into their enthusiastic questions for the professional gamer, who works as an e-sports coach for Cloud 9, a California-based company. With a degree in Japanese from the University of Pittsburgh, the pandemic forced Aidan to consider other job opportunities after graduation since his intent to move abroad became impossible due to worldwide travel restrictions. Looking for alternative opportunities closer to home, Aidan surprised himself by being able to turn a hobby into a career by first coaching at Arcadia University shortly after they debuted their state-of-the-art e-sports arena. Shortly thereafter, he caught the attention of Cloud 9 who brought him on board to be a professional coach for e-athletes. Now, he trains kids and adults how to play games such as League of Legends in a style he says is a lot like a soccer camp: "We run through drills, communication, teamwork, getting better at mechanics... all that good stuff." Marveling at his good fortune during such an unpredictable time, he says, "It's definitely a dream job."
During the day's events, Aidan was joined by other notable Berks professionals, including Mike Robinson, Executive Director of Community and Fan Relations/Internship Coordinator at the Fightin' Phils; Timothy Morgan, Territory Manager and Registered Nurse; Anthony Chaudry, Scientific Investigator at GlaxoSmithKline; and Heather Adams, Executive Director at BCTV.

Email: jmcooke@nullmyexeter.org

Jennifer started at the Junior High today as the new Assistant Principal, replacing Joe Alcaro, who is moving to Reiffton as their new Assistant Principal. Jennifer previously worked as the Assistant Principal at Reading High School. Prior to her experience at Reading, Jennifer was a math teacher for 14 years at Daniel Boone. She also experienced a variety of teaching positions early in her career, including working in the Philadelphia area. "I truly love middle school because it's such a great time for kids as they're figuring out who they are and discovering what they want from life. I hope to help them with that discovery and guide them in the direction of the futures," she says. She lives in Douglassville with her husband, her son and her three dogs.

Exeter Township Athletic Director Tom Legath was honored by Manheim Township School District earlier this month as he was inducted into their Athletic Hall of Fame. A 1996 graduate of Manheim Township, Mr. Legath earned 7 varsity letters as a member of the soccer, basketball and baseball teams. In 1994 and 1995, he won Section 1 titles as a member of the soccer team. In 1996, Mr. Legath was a member of both the soccer and basketball all-star teams, as well as the PA Mid-State All-Star basketball team. He also finished that season as Manheim Township’s all-time leading scorer in basketball with 987 points and all-time leader in 3-point field goals.

Upon graduation, Mr. Legath earned an athletic scholarship to Kutztown University, where he was a 4-year member of the basketball team and served as captain in his senior season. He was the Athletic Director at Daniel Boone from 2007-2011, and since 2011, serves as the Athletic Director for the district. Congratulations Tom!
