Gage Dean

U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Graduate of WTI

Gage joined the U.S. Marine Corps immediately after graduating from high school in 2012. From there he served with the Marines for 5 years until he was honorably discharged in 2017. While he was in the Marines, he learned skills as a ground radio repair person, as well as team building and discipline. He discovered that he did not enjoy working with and repairing radios, but he knew he wanted to do something similar but with more IT. After carefully reviewing several colleges Gage chose WTI, because the staff was friendly, ready to answer any questions and always eager to help. Gage enjoyed the fun learning atmosphere and engaging learning style. Gage says that to any veteran or student interested in pursuing their education at WTI should commit to their learning and have set goals in mind that they want to accomplish. Gage graduated with certifications in CompTIA A+ and Network +. With the goal in mind to achieve his certification in Server + and Security +. Currently Gage works as an IT assistant at the WTI Tulsa campus.
