Vince, like many other staffers, was a CIMUN delegate and came back to staff the conference in 2008 because it was always his favorite. This will be Vince's fourth year staffing CIMUN; his previous three years were all spent in the Protocol department where he worked his way up from Sergeant-at-Arms in the Historical Security Council (CIMUN V) to Master Sergeant-at-Arms (CIMUN VII). When he isn't threatening Greg Young with his resignation, Vince enjoys long walks on the beach and a good Tom Clancy book.
