Griffin took classes both online and in person while working his full-time position. 

David Gross, vice president of engineering and operations, congratulated Griffin on his hard work and dedication. “I’m proud of Chris’ initiative and his accomplishment. I am so happy that our Cooperative can help our employees continue their education. This helps us maintain a knowledgable workforce for years to come.”
