Protecting Our Great Lakes! đŸ›„ïžđŸŒŠ

Matt Moss (Class of 2017) is making waves as a Hydrographic Surveyor at ENTACT, where he takes immense pride in cleaning up our region’s lakes, rivers, and harbors.

His journey was built on NMC’s strong focus on natural resources, with some of his favorite memories made right aboard the college's training vessel, The Northwestern. NMC provided the foundation for his career and continues to support him post-graduation.

Inspired by his wife, Emily, and son, Eyas, he’s actively expanding his surveying team at ENTACT while earning his Certified Hydrographic Surveyor credential. đŸŠ‰đŸ’šđŸ’™đŸ©”
