Corey Becker

Hometown:  I usually just say Waterford, WI because that’s where I went to high school.  However, before the age of 15 I had lived in Dubuque (IA), Des Moines (IA), Bettendorf (IA), Le Claire (IA), Rochelle (IL),  and Waterford (WI).  I then moved back to Dubuque to go to college and have been there ever since.

Undergrad:  Loras College:  B.Sc. in Mathematics and Finance

Current City:  Dubuque, IA

Current Employment:  Business Analyst Dispatcher at IBM – I lead a team of business analysts that support IBM’s clients by providing financial reports and analysis.

Why he chose Tippie for his MBA:

  1. I am a lifelong Hawkeye fan (lived in Iowa the first 8 years of my life)
  2. The strong finance program led by highly respected faculty
  3. Impressive career/placement services
  4. Cost and financial aid

Something unique about Corey: I have never experienced a “brain freeze” despite chugging many slushies at my friends’ disbelief.
