Neil Hall began working as the new Manitowoc County 4-H Program Educator on August 10, 2021. Neil was born and raised in Manitowoc and looks forward to serving in the area that he has always considered “home.” Since 2014, Neil worked for UW System in a variety of roles involving student life, recreation and athletics, advising, and coaching at campuses in Manitowoc, Oshkosh, Fox Cities-Menasha, and Fond du Lac.

Prior to these roles, Neil was the Youth and Community Sports Director at the Manitowoc-Two Rivers YMCA. Neil’s other professional experiences include non-profit administration, sales and marketing, and entrepreneurship during time spent in Milwaukee and Southern California. Neil attended UW-Manitowoc before transferring to UW-Milwaukee to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. He later obtained a Master of Science degree in Educational Leadership from UW Oshkosh.

When not working, you’ll find Neil watching sports, at a concert, kayaking, fishing, or relaxing “up north” with his long-time partner, Mandy, and her 13-year-old son, Logan. Neil is eager to work with 4-H members, families and volunteers in Manitowoc County to maintain and build upon the strong foundation, expand program offerings to increase the overall impact of 4-H and engage new youth and families in the 4-H program.
