Academic Goal

My goal is to graduate for my time here at Millersville University is to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in applied engineering technology management with a construction management focus by May 2029. I’m not a traditional college student so my experience in the field will set me more than most. I intend to still be with J.D. Eckman, hopefully entering their project management division on highways, street, and bridgework. I will achieve this by working and going to school full-time, developing the technical and leadership skills needed in project management. To make this journey more tangible, I will take the necessary coursework that will be related to management. This will help obtain a project management position. I will look to seek mentorship within my company and hopefully find someone in Millersville with the same experience to see me excel in my success. I know that I would have succeeded when I got my degree and was officially assigned an assistant project management position or the project management title, hopefully with J.D. Eckman

I’m Tony Gonzalez. I’ve been working in construction since 2019 after high school. Started as a laborer, eventually becoming a hardscape foreman at New Castle Lawn and Landscape before transitioning to heavy civil construction. Since 2024, I’ve been working night shift as a carpenter (Accelerated Concrete Patching) with J.D. Eckman. Early this year (2025), I decided to come back to pursue a career in project management because I realized I wanted to grow in my field. After years of hands-on construction experience, I feel ready to expand my knowledge and prepare myself for advancement in this industry.
