May 29, 2023, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – GRCC gave Antonio “Toni” Kilgo the skills that help West Michigan businesses and homes power up.
Start at Grand Rapids Community College and go anywhere. Every former student has a story to tell about how GRCC gave them the education and opportunity to be successful.
Kilgo earned certificates in Furniture Manufacturing and Finishing, Construction Trades, and Machine Tooling/CNC from GRCC. He admits that he sometimes wanted to quit – or, at least, skip a class – but credits instructor John Doane with not allowing him to do that.
Armed with his certificates and an associate degree in electronics engineering technology from ITT Technical Institute, Kilgo has spent the past few decades moving through the ranks, from journeyman electrician, installation technician and senior project manager to his current role: vice president and senior consultant for Sankofa Engineering and Consulting.
“GRCC is where you attend for the equality of opportunity – if you’re willing to put in the effort and do the work,” he said.
