Rick made a huge impact on my life. Over the past several years people has often asked me why I live in the rural town of Big Stone Gap, VA instead of being a fancy pant magician living in a big city or on a cruise ship. Some people do not know that I have two careers….. 1. Joseph Young the Magician & 2. Joseph Young the Information Technology Specialist at Mountain Empire Community College (MECC). Rick Campbell hired me December 1995 to be an employee at MECC. April 1996 I started to perform at a few local parties, VBS, reunions, etc. as a magician as a hobby. I had no idea that by 2004 I would be a popular magician performing all over the nation and winning awards for my magic act. Personally I debated many times on wondering what to do to balance my day job with my busy traveling magic schedule. It has been a dream of mine to perform and it is something I never wanted to give up. My boss, Rick Campbell allowed me to manage both my careers and I will FOREVER be grateful to him. Not many people would have understood my position, but Rick changed my life by allowing me to support my family with both careers. Rick Campbell you will be truly missed and never be able to be replaced.
