From Stanford to Morgan Stanley to Dublin, Ireland, Karl Essig cites a love of reading and dialogue and a respect for all people as the keys to his professional and personal achievements. These were also at the foundation of the life-changing Catholic education he received at Riordan.

Brian Kosewic ’16, a rising senior at Loyola Marymount University, has found success trying new endeavors.

For a soon-to-be college grad who hopes to design sustainable cars, Wesley Morris ’15 has spent quite a bit of time on foot as part of both Riordan’s and Oregon State’s marching bands.

An aspiring journalist and soon-to-be graduate of Loyola University New Orleans, JC Canicosa ’16 credits his success to Riordan, which taught him the value “of putting [himself] out there” and getting involved.
