Brad Treat

I have had the honor of teaching Sam throughout five business classes at Ithaca College. Sam has led classroom engagement by both asking and answering questions on a regular basis. He has displayed a serious interest in learning and mastering the subject material in our discussions and assignments. Sam has also participated twice in a business pitch competition in which he displayed his strong presentation skills and was awarded a $1,500 grant for his startup business.

Sam is a terrifically talented business professional and entrepreneur. As his former professor, I can attest to his work ethic and ability to work well with others and complete projects in a highly organized and impactful manner. I highly recommend working with Sam!

      Although most would consider this non-LinkedIn worthy, I am proud to share the humble beginning of my entrepreneurial history. At 9 years old, my father taught me the basics of running our own small business of selling eggs. Although we hardly made any money, my father was able to introduce me to things such as tracking finances and raising livestock. I will be forever thankful for the lessons and memories that man gave me.
