As a second-generation commercial and government construction contractor, Adrian Harmon manages large projects simultaneously across the state. Currently, he’s managing government projects at Fort Benning Army Base, Fort Stewart Army Base, Moody Air Force Base, and Robins Air Force Base. On the commercial side, he has large projects under construction in Atlanta, Macon, Warner Robins, and Albany. With projects ranging from $50,000 to $5 million, Adrian has a great deal at stake. 

“As a small business owner managing projects across the state, I never thought I’d be able to go back to school for an advanced business degree. Logistically, I didn’t think I could make it work, plus I feared that adding intense coursework to my regular workload would hurt my business. Wesleyan’s Executive MBA Program is designed to minimize disruptions to your career. Because I had so many opportunities to immediately apply the concepts I learned in class, I actually felt more effective at work while I was a full-time graduate student.”

Adrian claims the Executive MBA experience significantly contributed to both his professional and personal development. “The opportunity to share perceptions, insights, and challenges with professionals from many different industries was really valuable for me. Just being able to discuss a real-world challenge with members of my cohort – successful men and women with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and goals – helped me improve my family business. That network of support continues long after graduation. After long class sessions, rather than exhausted, I felt invigorated with a renewed entrepreneurial spirit. I felt not only excited to implement new ideas but also prepared to see them through and ensure success.”
