Biographical / historical:

My name is Joseph Gonzalez, more known on campus as "Jojo". I am a native of Texas but from Virginia before coming to Hampden-Sydney in 2022. Growing up in San Antonio and then moving to the Fredericksburg area was a real life shock. I have played sports all my life, but this past semester my football career as a player finished after 14 years. I always had big dreams as a kid to make it to the big leagues but sadly the genetics were not all the way there. I am proud to leave a mark here on the program overall as I did make First-Team All ODAC. Now as my schooling comes to an end, I have been thinking of taking paths through construction, the military, or something in the lines of Business and Economics which is my major.

Dr. Warner Winborne is a native of Virginia, growing up on a small farm in eastern Hanover county, east of Richmond. I entered Hampden-Sydney in 1984, and graduated with the class of 1988. I had thought that I wanted to go to law school, and so I took a job as a researcher for a high-powered Washington D.C. law firm. After two years of that I decided the practice of law (at least at that lofty level) was not for me. So I went to Northern Illinois University, where I earned my PhD in Political Science. After some teaching jobs at a few other colleges and universities, I was fortunate to return to Hampden-Sydney, joining the faculty in 1999. I taught in the Department of Government and Foreign Affairs for twenty-four years, retiring in 2023. I now enjoy retirement with my wife Patti in the very southeastern corner of Puerto Rico.
