Since graduating from Missouri Valley, Koby has become a sales manager for Tuff Shed, overseeing a department that is set up in 12 Home Depot stores from Mobile, Ala., to Panama City, Fla.  He and his wife, Dawn, have been married for 17 years, and have three sons, Brandon, Jairus and Justice, along with one grandson, Bryson.

Koby credits his fellow students, the basketball coaching staff, his teammates on the men’s basketball team, along with the faculty for being people that greatly impacted and influenced him during his time at Missouri Valley.  He also enjoyed the diversity of the student-body, getting to meet people from across the country and around the world during his time as a Viking.  He says everyone on campus helped show him what he was made of.
