“I could take the things I learned at Red River College and put them into daily effect quite quickly after getting out of school,” says Morsky, “especially because I was involved with a family-owned business.”
Since graduating, Morsky has helped take the family business to new heights, while maintaining his commitments to the profession and to the community.
