cCall Tomeny of Baton Rouge served as a member of the Loyola men’s basketball team the entire four years of his college career. A power forward and two-year team captain, Tomeny helped lead Loyola to its first-ever SSAC West Division Championship season in 70 years. Among his many honors during his basketball career, he was named to the 2012 SSAC All Freshman team, SSAC All Division Team in 2014, and the SSAC All Conference Team. Tomeny was able to complete two internships while at Loyola even with a busy team practice and school schedule. His first internship was with Wells Fargo Advisors where he learned the art of the cold call, pitching products to potential clients. His experience with Wells Fargo served him well for his next internship experience with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. There he completed 50 hours of online education, passing the state test for life, death, and liability insurance. Following graduation, Tomeny is employed at JP Morgan Chase in New Orleans. His advice for other students is: “Have some-
thing interesting to talk about in interviews. Differentiate yourself from others in order to stand out from the pack.” Tomeny practices what he preaches. He is a graduate of SEALFIT Kokoro 29, a 50-hour crucible program that simulates Navy Seal Hell Week. There he honed his communication and team skills, not to mention his mental toughness. The program puts participants through rigorous mental and physical challenges while they go 50 hours with no sleep. Now that’s something you don’t find on the résumés of most college grads. His success in graduating from the program is a testament to what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it and embrace the challenge.
