Former Western student, Seth Campbell, is a jack of all trades. Growing up locally and graduating from Central High School<\/a> in 2009, Campbell headed into college not really knowing what he wanted in life. <\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell is now a realtor in St. Joseph, but he never saw himself in sales at all. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a kid I thought being a salesman would be scary, I never in a million years saw myself in sales or being a realtor,\u201d Campbell said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell was a public relations major and worked here on campus in the public relations office. <\/span><\/p>\n

After graduation he said he was like any other kid that was fresh off the stage with his diploma, with no clue what to do now. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got out of college I was trying to get into advertising first, I wanted to be a copywriter,\u201d Campbell said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter graduation I got a job with a sales company in Kansas City,\u201d Campbell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell would go door to door selling things like season passes to sports events and other packages. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a time my partner and I almost got arrested over a miscommunication,\u201d Campbell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA woman thought our product was a fake or a scam so she called the police and they set up a stakeout to catch us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we explained to them that we were legit, I tried to sell one of the officers a package but he wasn’t interested,\u201d Campbell said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After this Campbell knew locals in the cable and production industry, and got into local advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell was even apart of the production of the famous East Hills Mall<\/a> commercial that made it to national television. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI worked with commercials for about two years, it was great but with all the effort i was putting in I wanted to be making more.\u201d Campbell said <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI went from selling ticket packages, to commercials where I didn\u2019t have to sell as much to make a profit but, I took that concept and thought, what’s the most expensive thing you can sell to someone? It\u2019s real estate, houses and businesses,\u201d Campbell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the midst of his journey Campbell was also in a music group, Julian Davis<\/a> and the Hayburners, that was featured on America’s Got Talent<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell plays the upright base in the group. They were cut just before the quarter finals in season 11 of America’s Got Talent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
