SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah athletics department has hired nine new staff members in six different departments over the last two months.
New to the staff are Paul Silvestri, head football athletic trainer; Kyle Harris, associate sports information director; Lucas Moosman, associate director of athletic academic services; Kelly Sharitt, director of equipment operations, and his assistant, Christopher Anderson; Jennifer Binkley, marketing coordinator; and Cory Meyer, Darrell Peters and Landon Smith, ticket sale account executives.
The retirement of longtime director of sports medicine Bill Bean in early June instigated several changes in the athletic training area. Trevor Jameson, who will continue to oversee men's basketball and women's track and field, was promoted to director of sports medicine. Silvestri will be responsible the training needs of the football team - a job that was held by Bean for the past 32 years. In other moves, Tom Iriye was promoted from assistant to associate director of sports medicine.
Silvestri was an assistant football trainer at Kentucky for the past three years. Before that, he was the head athletic trainer at Florida Atlantic for two years. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Florida in 2000 and earned a master's from Kentucky (2003).
Harris, Utah's new associate SID, was an assistant sports information director at the University of Georgia for the past four years, where he handled the publicity efforts for UGA's two-time NCAA championship men's tennis program and the women's soccer team. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 2004 with a bachelor's in sport management.
Moosman comes to Utah after spending the last seven years at the University of California where he was the academic advisor for the football, rugby and women's volleyball programs. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies/psychology from the University of the Redlands in 2001. Moosman earned a master's degree in athletics and academic achievement from Cal in 2002.
Sharitt was the director of athletic equipment at Louisiana-Monroe last year. Prior to that, he spent nine years at Alabama-Birmingham and three with the New York Mets. He graduated from West Alabama in 1992 with a degree in athletic training. He replaces Robert Wiscomb, who is now employed by University of Utah special services. Sharitt's new assistant equipment manager (Anderson) replaces Steve Riley, who is the now the assistant director of events and facilities. Anderson is currently finishing his undergraduate degree in sport management at Utah and has been a team manager for Utah's baseball (2005) and basketball (2002, 2007) teams.
A native of Utah, Binkley returns home after three years with the Georgia athletics department, first as an event manager and then as an account executive for Georgia Sports Properties.

She will oversee the marketing for Utah's volleyball, gymnastics and baseball programs.
