@sdsualumni #WhereAreTheyNow? Spotlight featuring class of 2010 alumnus: Chris White! 

White, who was chosen by @sandiegostateuniversity faculty as the top finance student and Most Outstanding Student in the College, reflects on how his journey has evolved over the last decade following his graduation from #SDSUFowler. 

Q: What has happened in your life since you left SDSU 10 years ago?
A: Since graduation, a lot has happened.

I started my career with Booz Allen Hamilton (a contracting firm to the federal government) working as a business financial manager (BFM) at the United States Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego. Over the span of 10 years, I’ve supported various divisions within the Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence (C4I) community and the Navy's new shipbuilding programs. 

I've married the woman of my dreams (at the summit of Mammoth Mountain), had two kids, bought two homes and sold one, and have taken a six-month leave of absence from work to backpack with my wife for 1,020 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail in Southern California for our honeymoon.

Q: What was your favorite memory from SDSU? 
A: My favorite memory from SDSU was when I learned how to invest in foreign currency exchange in Dan Seiver's international finance class. He held a completion each semester using the OANDA platform and I recall finishing in the top five based on return on investment (ROI).  
 
Q: What advice would you give current SDSU business students?
A: Graduate!!!! Four years of your life is only a blip on the radar in the larger scheme of your life. Once obtained, your degree is something no one can ever take from you. It might only seem like a piece of paper but that piece of paper can open a myriad of future opportunities. No matter the challenges, keep a good attitude and never forget once you put aside the schoolwork or job duties, that we are all people. As you finish school, start your career and master your technical skills, don't forget about the human aspect. Take care of your people and your team. Hang in there and graduate — it's worth it! #SanDiegoState #SDSUAlumni
