CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University’s Sports Information Director Brad Kirtley retired June 29, 2016 after 32 years.
Kirtley studied journalism at the University of Missouri, then became a journalist and worked for a newspaper in Southeast Missouri for a little over five years.
When asked how his experience has been at APSU he said, “It’s been a privilege to work here for 32 years. I never would have guessed that when I came here in 1984 I would be retiring from the same place.”
APSU held a retirement party for Kirtley in the Dunn Center lobby at 3 p.m. He was surrounded by coaches and faculty and staff to celebrate his new journey.
“I’ll miss the people I work with the most,” Kirtley said.
