McGladrey Intern

I started my internship this week with McGladrey, a national public accounting firm that focuses on mid-sized, mostly private companies. I will be doing audit work in the greater Denver area until the end of July, at which point I hope to get a full-time offer to come back after a year of graduate school.


My orientation and training was in the exhilarating metropolis of Des Moines, Iowa! Although the soggy scenery left a bit to be desired, it was good to meet some other interns from the Central Plains region (Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, western Illinois, etc). Next month we have an intern capstone conference outside of Chicago, a chance to evaluate our experience at the mid-point of the internship. Maybe I'll take some real pictures on that trip.

Cougar Alums, Class of 2009!

There have been a lot of changes for us in the last month, but first things first. We graduated from BYU in April, Amy with a B.S. in Nutrition from the School of Life Sciences and a minor in Dance, and me with a B.S. in Accounting from the Marriott School of Management and a minor in Portuguese.



President Uchtdorf and Elder Nelson spoke at University Commencement (pictured above) and then Amy and I had the butt-numbing idea of attending both of our individual college convocations. We're very grateful to Mom, Dad, Michael, Bruce, and Sue for coming to celebrate with us. It also gave us an opportunity to spill the beans on some exciting news (see future post).







This video has no sound, but if it did you'd hear something like,
Jeff: "We're graduating honey!"
Amy: "I know! Woohoo!"
