WHEN BRENNAN DICHIARA (’13) began his freshman year at Southern Nazarene University (SNU) he was eager to find a way to pursue his passions for mathematics and sports in his future. As a student he was able to explore both - as a math major as well as a football player for SNU - but the biggest hurdle was going to be finding a way to continue both of these pursuits after graduation. Soon after his freshman year, he was shown that he could use his passion for math to pursue a career in the actuarial field, measuring risk benefits in insurance, and possibly expanding his career beyond insurance. Looking back, Brennan reflects that he owes a great deal for much of his success to Dr. Nicholas Zoller, who supported Brennan and guided him to his first job as an actuary immediately following graduation.
