“I look at challenges as opportunities. It was one of the most rewarding parts of my career.” 

David Tikoian ’90 has made a career out of improving the lives of his neighbors. Whether it was working on infrastructure projects with Lynch Construction; serving as a Rhode Island State Trooper; or representing the people of Smithfield, North Providence, and Lincoln as a State Senator, his community has remained a constant focal point.

Today, he serves as the Senate Majority Whip, the third-highest ranking position on the Senate leadership team. His job is to coordinate the work of the chamber, guiding legislation and supporting his colleagues as they navigate complex issues. The role requires balancing priorities across different constituencies while building consensus and maintaining strong working relationships within the Senate.

Tomorrow night, David will receive the Distinguished Alumni Award at the @bryantuniversity Alumni Achievement Awards. Read more about how he gained a "renewed sense of purpose" at Bryant and where life has taken him since at the link in our bio.
