Alumni Profile Meet Jim Engle '84 Current Town: Pleasant Hill, Iowa
Education: Major: Business management Minor: Sociology
About Me: I grew up in Sigourney, Iowa, and graduated from Sigourney High School in 1980 with no idea what I wanted to do. Central's size and proximity to home were important to me. Blending into huge classes on a big campus would not have served me well. My first post-grad job was as an admissions counselor and transfer coordinator at Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa. During this period, I met my future wife, LuAnn, also a native of Sigourney. While in Fayette, I saw a newspaper ad for a new position as a program manager for Main Street in Oskaloosa, Iowa. That was the day my career took a sharp turn. I have been working in the field of downtown development for the past 32 years.
