How has being an English graduate from Duke University helped shape your professional success?

Market skills were enhanced immeasurably. The use of alliteration, metaphor, creative verbal skills, and business communications have enabled me to bugild the top privately owned hard cider company in the U.S. Now it's at Duke in the Loop, and I'm givvvvng back with contributions to Duke and the Nicholas School.
