Beaver experience:
I graduated from Beaver in 1991 and it has definitely changed a lot since I was there. Luckily, I live close to Beaver so I’ve had the chance to go back and see the new additions to the school. I think Peter Hutton did a great job elevating the school and getting the school to where it is today. I’m still in touch with some people from Beaver including Larry McKinney, who I play pickup basketball with. Some teachers who have had a profound impact on me are Tom Manning, Patty Carberry, and Mr. McCarthy.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
I lived in DC for a couple of years and then got my MBA in operations and logistics. I started my own event marketing company. We worked with MTV, the Democratic National Convention, and even Demi Levato concerts. Then the business shifted to digital and we were still doing events and did not switch quickly enough. After that, I worked on scaling a digital marketing company called Fuse Ideas. Currently, I work on scaling businesses and I am the COO of MedSchoolCoach, a company that helps students get into medical school.

“The pandemic has been tough on medical school students because they haven’t been able to volunteer and get hands-on experiences, but a lot of students have taken it upon themselves to raise money to help those in need.”

– Craig Goldstein ’91
