Everglades University Reviews

B.S. in Construction Management.

In December 2014 I was honorably discharged from active-duty service in the United States Army. I left 3rd Ranger Battalion on Ft. Benning with my sights aimed for Houston. With a career opportunity already lined up and my education path mapped out, my wife and I made the 750 mile trek across God’s beautiful country. 10 days after arriving in Houston I started my new career at m Strategic Partners – and 14 days after that I started my online degree at Everglades University. Mid-way through my first year, my wife gave birth to our now 2 ½ year-old son. My life – and my schedule was truly full!

I have had countless sleepless nights since then. Balancing my career work load during business hours, and school work load during my evenings and weekends at home, sharpened my time management skills – without question. In the 3 years since joining the mSP team, I have worked on multiple projects spanning from small commercial and hospital renovation projects to large-scale hospital bed tower projects. The experience and knowledge I’ve gained during my studies and first 3 years at mSP has not-only opened my eyes to the construction industry, but has molded me into the team member I am today. I owe where I am today to the faculty & staff at Everglades University and the mSP team surrounding me and mentoring me over the past 3 years. And I would be remiss if I didn’t give my wife the most credit for my success. She has truly been by my side every step of the way, and at times played the role of my greatest cheerleader and coach. I would not be where I am today without her continual support.

December 15th, 2017 was my last day of class, and this month, April 2018, I will officially graduate from Everglades University with a B.S. in Construction Management. It has been a long journey to get where I am today, but I have emerged a more experienced, and well-rounded project team member for it. With some newly-discovered free time at my disposal, I will turn my attention to elevating my project focus at work, and will further enjoy my time at home with my wife and son. I’ve already set my sights on having an outstanding year in 2018. Again, I’d like to thank the mSP team, the teachers & student services at Everglades University, my wife, and the leaders who instilled intestinal fortitude in me during my time in the Army at 3rd Ranger Battalion. I could not have completed these milestones without all these foundations supporting me along the way.
