Rusty Wire
Program Coordinator

Rusty’s interest in athletics began at a very early age, almost as a birthright being born and raised in Austin, Texas – home of the University of Texas Longhorns. As her path in life wound through Colorado and much of Washington state, her career included many years working as a legal secretary, as well as two sessions as a legislative assistant in the Washington State House of Representatives.

In 1995, she went to work at Wenatchee Valley College in the athletics department, where she remained until moving to Port Townsend in 2004, giddily thinking about semi-retirement. That particular adventure lasted only a couple of years, and in September 2006, Rusty became a member of the Bellevue Community College athletics department,  feeling that once again she has returned home to her roots in the sports world.

Though not at all athletic herself, Rusty’s two daughters, Adrienne and Erin, laughingly refer to their mother as an “athletic supporter” -- which is true in her enthusiastic belief that often doors to other opportunities are opened by way of active participation in sports programs. A strong believer in lifelong learning, Rusty is happy to be in the lively surroundings of the BCC athletics department.
