John Horrigan’s Education

Bridgewater State College

English , History, Philosophy , 1979 — 1984

John still draws from his three areas of undergraduate liberal arts specialties: learning from the successes and failures of the past can allow one to make an informed decison in the present about the future.

John consistently evaluates a project schedule and continually applies measured prognostication. He recognizes that each individual on his team is vital to achieving a successful product launch and that they have varied strengths and weaknesses. He encourages team members to continually strive for excellence. In return, this provides him with a wholly dedicated staff and an over-the-horizon view.
