Tayvon Simmons ’18 is a desktop support (IT) specialist at the University of Lynchburg. After earning his Longwood degree in criminology and criminal justice, Simmons worked on Fort Barfoot as a diplomatic security officer for the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center and as an IT specialist. He then worked at Nottoway Correctional as a data analyst and procurement specialist.

But his interests range far wider than data analysis and computer technology. He shared that his hobbies include Brazilian jujitsu, which he’s been studying for about 11 years.

“And lastly, I have been trying to break into the world of voice acting. I am currently working on getting my first audiobook narration published, and I am waiting to record for an animated series that I can’t fully talk about just yet but is very much in the works.”
