BA, Business & Entrepreneurship concentration

AUSB’s core values shaped in Jeremy Runnels the appreciation and need for transparency and integrity in business and making a difference in the world – and drove him to find a company that upheld these same values.

Immediately after graduating from AUSB’s BA program, Jeremy started as a Financial Analyst at West Coast Financial, a financial planning and private investment management firm.

“Antioch provided me with an additional lens, or perspective, on commerce,” he said. “The teachers pushed me on critical thinking to communicate my views. Now I find myself in meetings with clients feeling so much more comfortable and confident than I might have been.”

As a Financial Analyst, Jeremy helps provide planning and investment management for individuals, families, and nonprofits to protect and grow capital transparently and responsibly.

“It gives me such satisfaction to make a difference in the lives of clients,” he explained. “The only questions that matter are: How can we serve them best? How can I do well by them?”
