Background

John Ruscik graduated from East Carolina University in May 2026 with a degree in Applied Economics. His program combined financial management, econometrics, behavioral economics, and data analysis with practical coursework in marketing and business communication — training that builds for the full demands of financial services work, not just the technical side.
Before completing his degree, he managed client relationships at Zenova Estates and led crews across multiple job sites at Greenscape Inc. Both roles developed skills he brings directly to financial services: analytical discipline, consultative judgment, and the ability to manage complexity under real pressure.
