Wil Hoffman

Wil Hoffman is a Springfield Native and recent graduate of Ohio University. Having
achieved a degree in Communication Studies with a concentration in the Performing Arts, it wasn’t until a screenwriting class that he became aware of his interest in writing. Upon his return, he was eager to get involved in the community that Springfield has to offer, and found the Springfield Hub to be a great opportunity to do just that while sharpening his typographic abilities. In his spare time he enjoys golf and exploring the nature trails of the area, when it's warm enough, and enjoying the numerous live music acts from the region when it's cooler.
