Sharon Paisley - Board Member
Sharon Paisley graduated from the School of Communication Arts with a teaching degree. I taught junior high for the LA Schools for 12 years and then raised two children Suzanne and Craig. I am now the proud grandmother of four beautiful children. For my second career, I was a fundraising executive for a children’s agency for 15 years. My fondest memory is traveling to the Rose Bowl in 1956 and traveling with the fabulous Spartan football team to many Big Ten schools. DUFFY ROCKED! I am a Rose Bowl statistic! I caught the first plane out of Michigan to So Cal after graduation. So you see, MSU football determined my destiny!
Stan Espenship - Board Member
Stan graduated in 1964 from the MSU College of Engineering with a degree in Civil (Structural) Engineering. After working in the design and construction field in the Midwest and East coast, he migrated with his wife, Ginny, and three children to Orange County in 1981. Stan continued in the construction field as a consultant until his retirement in 2006. His most lasting memory of MSU is dancing in the MSU power plant parking lot in the wee hours of the morning with his future wife. There is still a pain in his heart since they took down the smoke stack.
Kristen Creager - Social Media/Web
Kristen graduated from MSU’s College of Business in 2008 and moved to LA two weeks later, where she was acclimated to Hollywood by the MSU LA Alumni Club. Now in a quarter life crisis, she moved to the OC to attend business school full time at UC Irvine, getting her MBA in marketing. She still misses Cedar Village and daydreams about Burgerama on Thursdays.
