| Cobb and family |
James Cobb’s first week as UVAFinance’s newest LSP required him to quickly jump into action, helping employees transition to telecommuting due to COVID-19. Understandably, Cobb describes his role so far as “BUSY!”
However, he claims that this “has been the most interesting first two weeks [he thinks he’s] had in a new position” and that “it has been a good learning experience,” which he’s enjoyed.
After mostly working in academic environments with faculty and students, Cobb found the chance to work in a different aspect of higher education intriguing.
“Coming to UVAFinance will provide me perspective on the administrative side of higher education as well as afford me the opportunity to focus on technologies that are more aligned with my career path,” he says.

Now that employees are slowly adjusting to working remotely, Cobb’s role within UVAFinance is primarily LSP for the FST team. Though, he will still support Michael Hayton and Linda Estepp as needed.
When he’s not helping UVAFinance employees with technology issues, Cobb enjoys spending time with his wife, Michelle, and his nine-year-old twins, Jacob and Chloe. He also loves to bowl and to fish, sometimes even kayak-fishing in the bay or ocean! His favorite spot is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel.
He looks forward to putting more names to faces once employees can return to their offices.
