Coming into SFA Korbin threw out that he did not really know what he wanted to be but then he spoke to Mrs.Williford and they talked about his major, and he told her he wanted to have sports in his background. He felt that the facilities in the SFA media department is great for students to work with and that it is probably one of the best studios in Nacogdoches and as he works more and more with the production he grows with his major.

Korbin said he was most inspired by his grandpa. He was a praise and worshiper and took Korbin to church and inspired Kobin in many ways. In five years Korbin plans to have a job maybe in the new station whether it’s reporting or in sports, or he might go into grad school, but he’s not sure where yet. But, for right now he just going to keep networking at SFA so his future can be bright.
