Amazing Alumni

I really love working at Gage Marine because every day is a challenge. Not only is everyday a challenge but those challenges are supported with the education that I received in the Marine Service Technology Program. I feel like I’m part of a great family [at Gage] and I’m very happy with my career path. I’m looking forward to the future here, not only to hone my skills, but also as a place to raise a family.
