Growing up in the San
Gabriel Mountains with no
neighbors leaves people
with a lot of free time on
their hands.
For Asisstant Director of
Athletics Jason Kehler, it
allowed him to develop his
passion for sports.
“My dad was real big on
football. We didn’t have
cable, and the antenna
wasn’t dependable,”
Kehler said.
“But we did have satellite
and we got all the Sunday
football games.”
When he entered junior
high, he pursued TV production. Once in high school
though, they didn’t offer
the same program so he
chose journalism. He would
go on to be sports editor
and senior editor of the
newspaper at Charter Oaks
High School.
Kehler moved on to Cal
State University, Fullerton
and received a bachelor’s
degree in communications
with an emphasis in print
journalism.
He then earned a master’s
degree in sports administration from Concordia
University.
Kehler spends his time
away from his duties as
assistant director of athletics exploring the world
of craft beer. He stockpiles
brews from all across the
country, in his wife’s closet hoping to avoid a beer
shortage in Orange County.
“It really is almost like
wine tasting. You can
pair the perfect beer with
the perfect plate. Then
it becomes a challenge,”
Kehler said.
When he isn’t scouring
the country for beer, he
dedicates himself to his fivemonth-old daughter and
wife Kelly.
“We didn’t know if she was
going to make it, so when
my baby girl was born and
everything was OK, she was
our saving Grace,”
Kehler said.
