Chris Hemeyer was named Athletics Marketing Coordinator at Campbell University on Aug. 4, 2011 after spending the previous six seasons as the radio voice of the Kinston Indians Carolina League baseball club.

Hemeyer oversees Campbell's web streaming video and audio program while serving as the play-by-play announcer for Fighting Camel football and men's basketball radio broadcasts on WCLN-FM 107.3 (Fayetteville) and WSML-AM 1200 (Burlington).

In addition, the 33-year-old native of Columbia, Mo., coordinates the production of video content for GoCamels.com as well as producing marketing and promotional videos for the athletics department. Campbell produces live web streaming of home events in football, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, wrestling, baseball and softball.

"I am honored and excited to be a part of Campbell University," said Hemeyer. "This is a special place with a strong foundation and history, that's continuing to build for the future. The resources and commitment the University is putting into athletics is one of the main reasons I wanted to be here. It is truly a family atmosphere and a perfect fit for me, keeping me in the state that's been my home for ten years."

Hemeyer joined the Fighting Camel staff from Kinston, where he was Director of Broadcasting and Public Relations for the Kinston Indians, the Cleveland Indians affiliate in the Carolina (Class A) League. In his six years with the Indians, the radio network grew from one to four stations.

He also produced and hosted a weekly television show, Tribe Talk, and spearheaded the All-Star Student Program, which reaches more than 66,000 students in Eastern North Carolina.

"I am excited to have Chris Hemeyer join our staff," said Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Promotions Jarrad Turner. "I am confident he will bring an fresh approach to how fans see and hear Campbell University Athletics. Chris comes from multi-talented background in TV and radio and has experience at a variety of different sporting levels. He is great asset to the staff and will help us create more of a visual message for the fans."

In addition to Hemeyer's play-by-play work with the Indians, he has also spent the last three seasons as the play-by-play voice for the first half of the East Carolina University baseball season. Hemeyer's basketball play-by-play experience includes fill-in work for East Carolina men's broadcasts since 2008. He has also been the voice of Lenoir Community College men's basketball since 2008.

His football experience includes television sideline reporting for ECU football games on MASN and Comcast Sports Southeast. Hemeyer was also the studio host for Ohio University football for radio broadcasts on the Ohio IMG Sports Network. Last season, Hemeyer hosted a post-game call-in show and weekly talk show for East Carolina football. Hemeyer also filled in as color commentary for the Campbell-Georgia State football broadcast last season.

Since 2006, Hemeyer has been the voice of high school football in Craven County, calling multiple state championship games.

Hemeyer arrived in North Carolina in 2001, spending five years at WCTI-TV in New Bern. He worked as a news and sports reporter, moving up to weekend sports anchor. He graduated from the University of Missouri in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in journalism.
