Brian Griffin ‘14 started his education at Bates Technical College in the Electronic and Communications Systems Technology program. He earned his associate in applied science in May, 2014. What’s your background? I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. I joined the Army Reserves out of high school in 1985, went through basic training and advanced training. In January 1987, I went active duty as a Food Service Specialist and went from no rank Private E-1 to Sergeant First Class E-7. I was stationed in Korea for three tours, two tours in Germany, numerous short tours in Italy, Poland, Bosnia, and a final combat tour in Afghanistan from 2009-2010 with the 5th Stryker Brigade out of JBLM, which does not exist anymore. I retired from the U.S. Army after 25 years in December 2010. What brought you to Bates Technical College? I heard about Bates through the VA and WorkSource. I did some research on all the colleges, and I decided that Bates was the college for me. I looked at all the programs and nothing attracted me until I saw the Electronic and Communications Systems Technology program. It was different and looked interesting to me, plus, the way the world is going, the education I’d receive in this program is in demand. What are your career goals? To go as high as I can go with a great organization and retire again. Employment prospects? Did I mention I was hired by Boeing Aircraft Company? How will Bates help you get there? I learned basic electronics and networking cabling from the IT instructors and learned how to conduct myself on interviews.

“If you are out of the military and don’t know what to do or where to go, education is the best thing for you, go to school and get a skill. I’m very glad I chose Bates Technical College as my education choice for the start of my new career.”

Those who know me know that I’m a Christian. I spend early morning time each day in the bible, meditating, praying, and seeking His will for the day and my life. The beauty of my job is having a positive effect in people’s lives and equipping them with skills that empower them to succeed. 2. What is the best part of being a Bates Technical College faculty member? It’s all generational. Some of what I teach is what I’ve learned from my mentors and teachers. When I go back into the industry on summer break, it is gratifying and humbling for me to work for and with my former students in the industry. 3. If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would that be and why? Dinner? I’m not much of a sit-down-todinner kind of guy. I’d rather find myself working on a project. In that case, I’d be with Noah I think...working by faith. The ark no doubt would have sheet metal items all over it.

18 years of making nights merry and bright For the 18th year, Bates Technical College will bring light and sparkle to the largest drive-through lighted holiday display in the Northwest. Celebrating their 20th anniversary, Fantasy Lights is home to more than 300 elaborate holiday-inspired scenes that bring holiday cheer and sparkle to the shores of Spanaway Lake. This year’s contribution to this gift of lights includes a snowman attempting to warm up next to a fire, and a Santa-driven race car decorated with a number 20— a nod toward Fantasy Light’s 20th year, each piece carefully fabricated by Welding program student Mark Brown. “We are proud of our long partnership with Pierce County Parks and Recreation,” said President Dr. Ron Langrell. “Our annual participation is a shining example of our community involvement with neighborhood partners. Fantasy Lights is a fun and rewarding tradition for our students and employees, and we look forward to being a part of it each season,” he said. Don’t miss this spectacular holiday light display.
