Former 'simpsons' Producer To Return To Roanoke College

Joe Boucher, a former producer for "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill," is bringing his creative talent back to his alma mater in his new role as director of student activities and campus center. Boucher (pronounced boo-shay) will be the director of the college's Colket Center and will mostly help student organizations conduct events on campus. In between business classes at Roanoke College decades ago, Boucher was a tour guide, lacrosse team captain, Interfraternity Council president and a resident adviser. Post-college, he headed to Hollywood and worked his way up from delivering mail to 20th Century Fox executives to working in production and then becoming a top producer for two hit animated shows. Boucher's hiring by Aaron Fetrow, the college's vice president of student affairs and dean of students, turned some heads locally and in higher education. In California, Boucher had been coaching lacrosse and helping with some after-school programs while working on teaching certificates when he wasn't writing and pitching TV pilots. [...] it was after he came back to Roanoke College in the spring to teach screenwriting workshops that he expressed interest in returning permanently.
