Jamie Hall wrapped up his “third career” working as the Village Administrator for Ada on Friday, June 22. If you can’t imagine Hall letting grass grow under his feet in retirement, you’re right. He is already talking about a fourth career driving school buses.
Q. What are you most excited about in your new Village Administrator role?
A. Getting to know Ada! It has been such a welcoming community and I am looking forward to meeting the residents and finding all of the treasures Ada has to offer.
Q. Who or what had the biggest impact on your life growing up?
A. Watching my parents work hard and strive to provide the best opportunities for me has always left an impact on me. They are a great representation of hard working, loving, humble people and I strive for that every day.
