My Academic Journey

From Moses Lake to Pullman to Virginia Beach and back. Here's how the credentials stacked up.

2010 – 2013

Associate of Arts & Sciences

Big Bend Community College · Moses Lake, WA

Transfer degree covering math, science, and writing. Stayed local, built a solid foundation, and set myself up for the jump to WSU. Best decision: staying in Moses Lake and doing it right before heading to Pullman.

2013 – 2016

B.A. Business Management & Operations

Washington State University · Pullman, WA

Operations management, supply chain, team leadership, and ethical decision-making. The coursework on leadership and ethics directly mirrors how I approach my team at Group 14 every day. Go Cougs.

2020 – 2021

USCG Merchant Mariner Credential

Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy · Virginia Beach, VA

QMED Electrician & Refrigerating Engineer. Marine electrical systems, refrigeration, HVAC at sea, and working under pressure when the stakes are real. This one wasn't in a classroom - it was earned in the field.

How Education Shapes My Life

Education is more than the degrees you end up with. It's the stuff that sticks. Big Bend got me started close to home. WSU gave me the business side for running things efficiently. MAMA added the real technical grit for fixing problems when it matters. All of it comes together at Group 14, in the community, and in being the kind of dad I want to be here in Moses Lake.
