I have worked at BTECH for 20+ years. I know the hard work that went into building BTECH into what it is today and I understand the importance of working hard to keep the college growing and thriving. I am a strong advocate for technical education and I see the important role that it plays in the workforce. I also see the role that BTECH plays in the lives of its students, how it shows students what they can accomplish and what they are capable of.
