BGS Student & UNIV 490 Intern

“In the Navy I learned honor, courage, and commitment. I finally realized it applies to my life outside the Navy. I treat my family every day with those core values. They work in any situation in the world. I built a business around it and I am instilling it in my children. I can’t think of any other way to live.”

What would you would like to share with fellow BGS students?

Just that I think it is the hardest thing an individual can do to go back to college after working in a professional field for so long. Don’t take for granted the relationships you can build by networking. There are many of us out here willing to help. Take advantage of opportunities and get to know the other members of the BGS program. Network for the next step in your career.
