Bobby Brune is in his fourth year as the Coordinator of Marketing & Promotions. His duties include selling corporate partnerships, coordinating all advertising, planning promotions, graphic design and placing Redhawks merchandise to vending outlets.

Prior to being the Coordinator of Marketing & Promotions, Brune was a graduate assistant at Southeast. While completing his master's degree, Brune played football for the Peoria Pirates of the Arena Football League.

As a quarterback at Southeast, Brune lettered all four years from 1998-2001.
