Blair is returning to the Virginia College Advising Corps after having served as a college adviser in Danville, Virginia from 2021 to 2023. As an adviser, he was recognized with the Laurie and Peter Grauer True North Award, given to one out of the College Advising Corps' more than 700 advisers for excellence in service.

Blair graduated from the University of Virginia in 2021 with a major in Spanish and Political & Social Thought. In college, he interned with Enseña Perú, an education-focused non-profit based in Lima, Peru, where he completed research on school-based violence prevention strategies. He was awarded the John A. Herring Scholarship for Social Awareness, given each year to two UVA students who demonstrate leadership, citizenship, and fellowship. 

In his free time, he enjoys running, hiking, and listening to NPR.
