W hen he’s not spinning vinyl at his record store or get- ting involved with the local arts scene, Kearney native Bryce Jensen helps maintain the class- rooms, technology and studio spaces for UNK Online. The 1999 UNK alumnus began his role as classroom technologist two years ago after a short stint as a media producer at Central Com- munity College in Grand Island. However, he’s best known in the community for his nine years as executive director of The World Theatre and as co-owner of Buf- falo Records. He’s a current board member for the nonprofit movie theater in downtown Kearney and for Crane River Theater, where he also appears in productions. Why did you choose this career path? My father has always been a tech guy. When I was a kid, he used to work at RadioShack dur- ing the holidays. We had the earli- est PC computer, CD player and even a satellite dish. I inherited his passion for technology and I have always loved tinkering with the latest gadgets.
