From Mopeds to Marketing – EFSC Fuels Student’s Passions
May 14, 2025
Restoring a vintage 1959 Volkswagon Beetle is just one of the hands-on opportunities that Eastern Florida State College student Tommy Keyes is using to combine classroom learning and real-world projects as he pursues a career in marketing.
Keyes is completing his Associate in Arts degree as a full-time student while also engaging in extracurricular activities that align with his personal passions, such as being an active member of the 3D Printing Club, an EFSC student club that allows him to explore new ways to create parts for his car and moped restoration projects.
After graduation, he plans to transfer to the University of Central Florida to pursue marketing.
“I’m interested in how investments in marketing return or fail,” he explained. “The analytical side of marketing is something that excites me, and I’m hoping to make that a big part of my career. I’d love to work for the business side of a motorcycle or car company while continuing to enjoy restoration as a hobby.”
