My hope is that Jackson can bring us new ideas and take us in some different directions. He will have every opportunity to do that. Not only did we interview him in Ashland, we got had the chance to see him work thanks to our participation in the NCAA playoffs in softball and lacrosse.

"I believe he'll be an excellent fit for us. He's young, energetic and determined to help us improve."
 
Said Janetski, "I first want to thank Athletic Director Al King, and Director of Athletic Communications Dusty Sloan, for this incredible opportunity. Growing up in Ohio, Ashland has always been a place I've seen exceed both on and off the field, and I'm excited to begin to contribute and grow Ashland's athletic brand. It's a privilege to join the Ashland team and begin showcasing these incredible student-athletes experiences through the power of storytelling.
 
"I'm thrilled to be able to put Ashland on the map not just regionally, but nationally, and making Ashland one of the premiere institutions in Division II."

"It's always exciting when new people join our athletic department, and it will be a pleasure to work with Jackson to bring our athletic communications department to new heights," Sloan said. "The coming weeks and months will be fun to see what we come up with to promote all facets of our department's past, present and future."
