Meet the Crew

BUSTED: George Kinzel

This is GK's 23rd year here at Bloomsburg University. He founded BUSTED in 1998 and has been involved with educational improv theater since 1991. Originally from Long Island, New York, he enjoys watching shows like Big Brother and Survivor. GK is the Director of the Center for Leadership & Engagement and founder/advisor to DASL Campus Leadership. In the summertime, he directs a pre-college program for high school students from around the world in Boston, Massachusetts called "Summerfuel." He is also the proud uncle of three nephews, Nicholas, Michael & Matthew. Special woof to his best paw friend, Keebler for his loyalty and unconditional love he provides every day!

BUSTED: Nodir Egamberdiev

Usually when people meet Nodir they have lots of trouble pronouncing his name. But that's alright! He is a super approachable individual and you're more than welcome to approach him and give it a try to pronounce his name right! At the core Nodir is also a unique fourth year student majoring in Arabic and minor in biology, and this is his seventh semester in BUSTED. As mentioned before he is super approachable and that comes in very handy, especially if you've got a student concern or would like to understand more about campus events and possibilities to become a better leader, because he is a member of CGA as well as the Center for Leadership and Engagement on campus. And the amount of runs he makes in a week to Dunkin' is UNBELIEVABLE!
