Dustin Stock Sun Prairie Class Of 2005 Company: General Casualty Insurance Program: IT What did you love about YA? YA gave me the tools I needed to succeed early in my IT career. It also gave me a leg up once I left high school and got a full-time job in IT. How did YA influence your plans after high school? After I graduated, I moved to Minnesota and started working for Cargill as a contractor. After my contract expired, I moved on to ADC Telecommunications starting in Deskside Support and eventually moving into a Business Analyst and Software Developer role. After 7 years with ADC Telecommunications, I moved on to The Toro Company. I worked at one of Toro’s manufacturing facilities doing everything IT related (Phones, Network, Servers, Desktops, Programming, etc.). In 2020 I was offered a Sr Network Administrator position at Toro’s headquarters. In late 2021, in addition to my current role, I took over supervising Genesys Works high school interns at Toro. It’s similar to the YA program and I feel like I’ve gone full circle from being a high school intern to supervising some of them. What do you want others to know about YA? ​
