Pat Chun shares his journey to Washington State

Washington State Athletic Director Pat Chun is approaching five months on the job and he just got the national attention treatment from the Washington Post ($$$).

Chun is the first Asian-American athletic director at a Power 5 school, which is pretty cool. He detailed his path to WSU to the Post’s Gene Wang.

There’s nothing earth-shattering in the feature, though there are some nice tidbits on Chun’s life. This bit was my favorite:

When Chun and his wife, Natalie, a former Buckeyes softball player, were discussing starting a family, his mother didn’t hesitate to offer more advice.
