Candidate:

Mr. Nukey Nuke

About Me:

I’m a nuclear-trained Navy submarine officer currently teaching Naval ROTC at a small state school. I am not interested in staying in the Navy, but I think that the combination of my rigorous academic work to date as well as my leadership experience in the military has set me up well for a job in consulting.

Big Life Wins:

– Successfully assisting in saving my captain’s job during a particularly high profile inspection of the ship and our operations: I lead a team of sailors in recovering the engineering plant from a simulated casualty with no negative drill comments from the inspection team
– Running a sub 4-hour marathon on my first go

Post MBA Goal:

With a top 20 MBA I hope to join a dynamic, engaged consulting team. One thing I enjoyed about my time as a submariner was the constant churn of new challenges. A consulting environment would be ideal for me, as I think having to think about multiple problems and facets of operations at once is an environment in which I thrive.
