A multiple Emmy Award Nominee, Barnes is a former photojournalist for WOLO-TV 25 in Columbia, SC, and WSPA News Channel 7 in Spartanburg, SC.

He holds a Bachelor of Media Arts from the University of South Carolina, a Master of Arts in Public Administration from Strayer University, a Certification in Constitutional Law from the Duke Law DC Summer Institute and a Certification in Fundraising Leadership from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy .

A native of Greenwood, SC, Barnes is married to Christine Barnes and is a proud father to three daughters. In his new role, he will lead the University’s fundraising, alumni engagement, and partnership development efforts in alignment with its strategic growth.
