"I think now is a great time to start a business"

Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs executive director Paula Scott talked with former BCE board member, executive director, and founder Dick McGarrity. Dick has been term-limited off the board of directors –- but clearly is never limited in his enthusiasm for this 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves entrepreneurs in Allen, Hancock, Hardin and Putnam counties.

Paula: Let’s start at the beginning. How did you become part of the Bluffton business community?

The classes I took in high school opened the door for me to explore my interests and helped me decide on what I wanted to do with my career

Interviewed by Derek Swartzlander
Icon: You graduated from Bluffton in 2019. What have you been doing since then?
Since graduating from BHS in 2019 I have been attending Goshen College in Indiana. I still spend my breaks back home in Bluffton and I work at Suter’s Produce while I’m in town. You can also see me running a lot! At Goshen I am studying Film Production and Communications and I am also running Cross-Country and Track. It keeps me very busy but it has been a really good experience.
