Hello Northeastern Paintball:

Hello Northeastern Paintball:

I have come to ask you about your team, your tournament paintball spirit, and your current and future goals. I ask because I am a student affairs professional who is currently in the job search. I recently interviewed for a position at Northeastern’s Office of Student Activities for an Assistant Director position.

I have many criteria for the school that I hope to dedicate the next 2-5 years of my life. Many of which encompasses quality of life, compensation, culture…. and of course paintball.

I have been playing, practicing, teaching, coaching for the past six years now. I started when I was an undergraduate at the University of Hartford where I played in the NCPA. Since then I have moved onto grad school at NYU.

During this time I have been playing with / against some of the most competitive D3-D1 teams in the tri-state area and my practice fields vary from Atlas Paintball and ZJ Paintball in NJ to my old home field at Matt’s Outback Paintball in CT.

I have had a vision for some time now that whatever school I end up working for, I will commit all of my personal and professional resources towards cultivating the paintball program of that institution into a competitive tournament team - no matter the starting conditions looked like. I vowed to start a team where there was none, cultivate a growing team, and if possible coach and train an established tournament paintball team into a world class competitive organization.

When browsing your website I was surprised to find updated news regarding your recent wins, your solid roster, and your commitment to playing quality paintball. I congratulate you on your successes, your victories, and your dedication to this sport.

In the coming weeks I may be offered an opportunity to visit the Northeastern Campus in person. Should that happen - I would like to request a meeting with the current roster to describe my offering in greater detail. Additionally (if time and limitations permit) I would like the option to attend a practice or scrimmage of the organization.

I hope that you consider this opportunity fully, and that I will be contacted by a representative of your team’s leadership in the near future.

Thank you for your time,

~Dave Eng

Dave,

I have no idea if you will be frequenting this forums, so I sent you an e-mail.

Dave,

Thank you for your interest. We have a young team and there is a lot of room for improvement and expansion. Rick and I are interested in talking with you. We will talk this over with the team members as well. Hopefully we can meet with you in the future as a team and discuss your proposal further.

Please feel free to contact me as well - all of my information should be in my profile here on these forums. Thanks.

Dave,

Nice website... I got a good laugh out of it and slightly disappointed you didn't talk in third person for your forum post.

I am the current coach now. Rick and Eric do most of the day-to-day club activities where I mostly focus my attention on-field. I have since graduated, but would also like to hear what you have to say if you get a campus visit.

Thanks for the interest!

Hello All:

I have been informed that I was not selected for an on-campus interview at NEU. Thank you for your time and good luck on next year’s season. I am confident that it will be as prosperous as this year’s.

Best,
