52 Faces of Community: Troy Pennington
By Holly Desrosier
Basketball buff and former pro athlete Troy Pennington has united his love of sports with his faith to help residents of New Bern stay active and engaged. As a lifelong “people person,” he has relished his roles of bringing people together through fun and fellowship.
“I just love our town of New Bern,” he said. “I just love serving and helping people here in our community and help try to shine the light of Jesus in our community.”
Troy was born in Lynchburg, Virginia and grew up in the small town of Marion until he reached sixth grade. He and his family moved to New Bern in 1980 after his dad took a job with Trader Construction Company. He went to H.J. MacDonald Middle School and New Bern High School, then attended Craven Community College and played on their basketball team before transferring to Methodist University.
