Ryan’s interest in Forestry began when he was a boy and grew as he worked for his family’s logging business as a young man. When he decided he wanted to go back to school, HGTC seemed like an obvious choice. It was the only technical college in North or South Carolina that had exactly what Ryan was looking for, and not too far from home.
Ryan has enjoyed the Forestry Program thoroughly because it is very hands on and practical. He credits his success to the involvement and helpfulness of the professors and his own willingness to ask questions. He feels as though he will leave the program ready to take on whatever challenges may come his way in the workforce.
Upon completion at HGTC, Ryan plans to pursue a Finance degree at Coastal Carolina University. He will then be prepared to work with timber and land investments in North and South Carolina.
Congratulations, Ryan, for being chosen as December’s Spotlight Student!
