MacKenzie Blair

Born and raised in Enon, MacKenzie attended Greenon and the STEM school in Springfield.  She was on the bowling team that made it to state finals 3 years in a row, but was never able to bring the championship home to Greenon.  She earned enough college credits to finish The Wright State University a year early with a bachelor’s degree in finance.  She was president of her sorority, Delta Zeta and Vice President of the finance club.  She is a financial analyst at James Investment Research.  When I asked where the interest in finance comes from, she indicated she always like math and thinks the stock market is cool.  Just so you don’t think she is all nerd, she is a purple belt in mixed martial arts with a focus on Taekwondo.  She still enjoys bowling and travel.  She lives with her boyfriend, Mathew, in Bellbrook.  They met in high school, he is a chemist.  The coolest place she has been was France when she studied abroad while attending Wright State.  She met the Actor Grant Guston, who was Flash Gordon.  She was attending a Broadway play in New York City and he signed their programs and took some photos with them.  She would very much like to travel to Iceland and see the northern lights.  MacKenzie’s Rotary sponsor is Beth Handwerker and will be pinned by Beth.
