Rochelle vacating UA post

FAYETTEVILLE -- Sean Rochelle wasn't looking to go anywhere.

The Elkins native enjoyed his job as executive director of the Razorback Foundation, leading the fund-raising efforts for Arkansas athletics.

"I don't even have a resume," Rochelle said. "I had zero desire to leave my job or do anything else, but sometimes things come around unexpectedly that just work out."

Rochelle, 48, announced Thursday that he is resigning from the Razorback Foundation effective Sept. 1 to become executive director of Vold Vision, a private business in Fayetteville providing all forms of eye care.

"It was really, really difficult to come to a final decision to leave the foundation," Rochelle said.
