Tomorrow @ Noon
After graduating college, Michael Kammarman set out with his brother for the next two years backpacking around the world, ultimately hitting 35 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and the South Pacific. Nearly 20 years later, he is still getting stamps on his passport, except this time as the press officer for the United States Men's National Soccer Team. Kammarman, who graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in political science, got his start in soccer when he was a volunteer at the Washington venue when the United States hosted the World Cup in 1994. Join us for a moderated discussion about his travels and experiences over the past 15 years.
