Check out our awesome student!

Nathan Middleton participated in SkillsUSA while he was in high school. He competed in welding, which he found an interest in at his after-school job in Alliance. Little did he know he would go on to compete on the national stage as a Southeast Community College student.

“Last semester we got to design our own projects in class, and I designed a pneumatic can crusher. I designed all my own parts and machined them, it was pretty exciting to see something come to life and make all the parts myself.”

Kurtenbach graduated in 1959 from the Machine Tool program and worked for a short time at Behlen Manufacturing in Columbus. He then went to Stanley Aviation in Aurora, Colorado, making low-altitude ejection seats for aircrafts. After 12 years, he and his wife Marge moved to California where Kurtenbach spent the next 30 years in nuclear weaponry and geothermal energy. All of this success wouldn’t have been possible without Southeast Community College.

“I had wonderful instructors, Jim Powers and Ed Garner, to whom I owe much of my success. The confidence and teaching I received at Milford guided me every day. I was given the ability to lead with a sound basis.”
