LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 26, 2017) — As an aviation electronics technician in the United States Marine Corps, Matthew Ebert experienced two separate deployments to Iraq and the Persian Gulf.

After facing the challenge of serving his country, Ebert says he was ready for a new goal to achieve. That's why he chose to become a mechanical engineering major in University of Kentucky College of Engineering.
