A Successful 10 Years for Turner College Accounting Graduate Garrett Hix

The Turner College prides itself in playing an important role in the advancement of the professional careers of its graduates. A good example of this work is Garrett Hix, who, since 2018, has worked as a senior staff accountant for Kickr Design, which is a fast-growing product design and engineering consultancy headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company delivers end-to-end product development and engineering services by providing expertise across the entire development process. From conceptualization through design, engineering, prototyping and manufacturing, Kickr Design transforms ideas into fully manufactured products.

Garrett graduated with a BBA in accounting from the Turner College in 2014. He also earned a BS in mathematics from CSU that same year. While a student at CSU, Garrett was a member of Kappa Sigma, the Order of Omega, the Turner College accounting club, the ROAR orientation team, all while working as a student assistant to the CSU president. After graduating from CSU, he completed an internship with Abbott Jordan & Koon in Columbus. Upon completion, he joined the firm full time as a staff accountant, a position he held until his move to Kickr Design. Turner Business joins Garrett's colleagues and friends in wishing that his next 10 years are as successful professionally as the prior 10 years have been.
