Which program did you graduate from and when? I graduated from the BUS 3 program in 2006.

The title of his final project--"University Vineyard Church" (community project). My project looked at programs that could be done through the church to touch the community around it. I looked at a senior activity center, homework tutoring and seminars for college students. They have started tutoring.

Where do you work? I'm a field supervisor at Foster Farms. I work with contract growers for turkeys, doing quality control and management.

Interests: Coaching, church activities, camping and softball.

Favorite book: Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby.

Best advice you ever received: Put God first, then everything else will work out.

Favorite business leader: Harvey Mackay, he gives great advice to business professionals.

If you were having a dinner party, who would you invite and why? George W. Bush and his wife, Laura. I would want to ask them about the challenges that they have gone through in the last years and how they coped with them.

Biggest challenge at work: Time management.

What should people know about you? That I have a deep faith in Jesus Christ, and I invest in my family whenever I can.

What advice would you give a student in business today? You can do anything with a business degree. Do not have a narrow view of your career. The job market is looking for employees with a strong work ethic that can work with people. Also, they are looking for people that can make sound decisions after accessing the situation.
