Lee (\u201902, \u201915) and Erin (\u201902) Freeman did not meet one another until their final year at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, but they had similar reasons why they wanted to attend UT \u2014game days on Rocky Top. They first met in an advertising class before both graduated from the Tombras School of Advertising and Public Relations. The two share a love of people, UT, and each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth Lee and I graduated in four and a half years. Not for academic reasons. I personally conned my parents into having me stay another semester at UT simply because I wanted another football season,\u201d Erin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While they came for the Vols, both Freemans left with an education that helped them climb the ranks of their respective fields. After graduating from the Tombras School, Lee pursued a career in sales and marketing before obtaining an MBA from the Haslam College of Business in 2015. Erin is now the senior vice president at Ackermann Marketing & PR while Lee is the chief executive officer at Sertoma, an organization that helps those with intellectual and developmental disabilities find employment, housing, and community.<\/p>\n
Erin comes from a long line of Volunteers. She grew up watching UT football games and hearing about the many opportunities the university had to offer. UT was the only school she had in mind after graduating high school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lee, on the other hand, didn\u2019t know where he wanted to go to school until his dad took him to his first UT football game. He grew up in the small towns of Savannah and Elizabethton, Tennessee, but didn\u2019t step foot onto UT\u2019s campus until he was in his early teens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\u201cI was in junior high and Heath Shuler was the quarterback then. I just remember being there, and there were a hundred and some thousand people all the same age or similar in age, all in love with this university. I was just in awe of it and I just thought, you know, hey, I can go to a university that has 25,000 people. That\u2019s twice the size of my hometown and what opportunities could be there,\u201d Lee explained.<\/p>\n
Their first year was a great one for UT football.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Erin said, \u201cOur freshman year was 1998, which was a wonderful year for many reasons, one being that we won the national championship, that\u2019s our claim to fame. I really, truly enjoyed my time at UT.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Haslam College of Business would be where the two would have their first interaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember where I met Erin. I was in Teddy Armbristor\u2019s marketing class. It was a very tough class and there was this beautiful girl in the row in front of me,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
Lee had a group project in another class where their assignment was to create an advertising campaign for Mike\u2019s Hard Lemonade. Luckily for him, one of his group members was Erin\u2019s best friends and roommate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe chose Erin as one of our models,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter finishing our campaign for Mike\u2019s Hard Lemonade, we as a group\u2014our campaign class\u2014decided to go have a drink and enjoy ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe purchased me a Mike\u2019s Hard Lemonade and sat that down in front of me because it went along with the theme of their advertising campaign,\u201d Erin said.<\/p>\n
From that point on, the two were inseparable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With graduation fast approaching, the two were thinking about life after college and what that would look like together and apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that time, advertising was the cool thing. It was people who wanted to go live in New York City and work for these large firms. They were just making hand over fist in terms of money but it didn\u2019t end up that way for me,\u201d Lee said. \u201cI ended up interning for a couple of semesters and just did not see a fit anywhere. Erin and I had a blossoming relationship. I felt like this is the one, and soon after I graduated, I looked at opportunities in Atlanta, Nashville, and Knoxville. I applied for a job with a company called Maxim Healthcare. They provide 24\/7 staffing for nurses and therapists within the hospitals and acute care space. I was offered that job in Atlanta and turned it down because I didn\u2019t want to leave Erin.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company ended up hiring Lee for an opening in its Knoxville office. While Lee was working for Maxim Healthcare, Erin started her career at Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation, now known as Visit Knoxville. The two married in September 2005.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn an off-weekend for UT football,\u201d Erin adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Erin has been working in the public relations industry since graduating at UT, which eventually led her to her current position at Ackermann Marketing and Public Relations.<\/p>\n
Erin said, \u201cThe doors had opened for me in terms of a skill set and the connections that I made with the media and the reputation that I was able to build. The trust that I was able to build with the media allowed me the opportunity to eventually be where I am now at Ackermann Marketing and PR. I have been there, I think it\u2019s going to be 12 years in April.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Erin has now been with the company since 2011, Lee has a personal connection to his current job at Sertoma as one of his friends experienced a life-altering situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cMy best friend from Elizabethton was unfortunately a statistic that became someone with a developmental disability because of a catastrophic event. He graduated from West Point. He then went to Hilton Head to have a vacation to celebrate right before going to ranger school and on the way back to Annapolis, Maryland, he hydroplaned and hit a tree. It had a bearing on me and it seemed like this job meant more than a job,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, I get to hang out with people that absolutely love just being alive even though they\u2019re in a wheelchair for the rest of their years, the rest of their days, and it\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lee and Erin not only give back to the community through their work, but they\u2019ve also been donors to the university.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Erin said, \u201cIt\u2019s important to give back so that stories, like the one that we\u2019re telling, those stories can continue. The legacy of being a Tennessee Vol is so incredibly important, and we always want to be part of giving back to that legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two still love to spend their weekends in the fall at Neyland Stadium, but now it\u2019s with their soon to be ten-year-old son, John Clark. They hope he will one day follow in their footsteps.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Lee said, \u201cThat choice that I made back in 1998 led me here and hopefully one day, our little boy will choose UT. I mean, he is already a tried and true Volunteer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lee and Erin had two very different career paths but say it\u2019s the relationships they built along the way that helped them get to where they are.<\/p>\n
Lee said, \u201cFinding someone that you can confide in, in terms of understanding your struggles and your challenges and knowing that whatever you\u2019re probably going through, someone else has gone through it. Let\u2019s work together to get it done rather than going into it alone. I think doing that helps build confidence, but also keeps that humility.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
