“I am very excited about rejoining the Virginia athletics department,” Armistead said. “UVa is a special place and I feel very fortunate to be a part of the athletics community.”

For the last year Armistead has been a financial advisor with Virginia Asset Management in Midlothian, Va. Prior to that he was the director of baseball operations at Virginia for two years and also served as a student assistant with the baseball program for two years.
