Brian Son

Student at U.S. Merchant Marine Academy

Speaker

Grew up and raised in Destin, Florida I entered the Academy in 2021 seeking military fulfillment and structure. Set to graduate with a degree in Maritime Logistics & Security in 2025. Sailed over 330 active days aboard various types of commercial vessels, while conducting important military logistical missions, gaining intimate experience in maritime navigation and operations. Regimentally, I served as a department head for External Affairs as the Regimental Public Affairs Officer and the right hand to VADM Joanna C. Nunan as the Admiral's Aide. I was able to accomplish a series of media projects and deliver a higher level of media visibility for the Academy. Currently planning out post-graduation career strategy on either Airforce Reserves or Navy Active Duty. Ultimately, I seek to contribute to our Nation's national defense while preparing myself for a future in maritime finance or economics.
