Steve Schreckengost | Executive Vice President of Finance and CFO Year: 2013 Major: Global Studies & Maritime Affairs Hometown: Redwood City, CA Not only am I the VP of Finance for ASCMA, but I also have the privilege of serving as the Corps Executive Administrative Officer - something that is unique to our campus AND the entire CSU system. My role in leadership development, coupled with my role in AS affords me the opportunity to make a difference on this campus. One of my (many) goals for the 2012-2013 school year is to find ways to create more synergy between the Corps and AS. My experience last year as Director of our ACE programming board has given me insight into how to use Associated Students money both wisely, and above all, effectively. I'm in my office more than I'd care to admit, so if you need anything... stop on by! |

Lee Morrow | Sophomore Vice President Year: 2015 Major: Marine Transportation Hometown: Salinas, CA
Hi! My name is Lee Morrow and I am the sophomore class Vice President. Along with my friend Mitchell Kobayashi and all of those in ASCMA, I am here to listen to and facilitate the compliments or concerns of the cadets of CMA. I grew up in the town of Salinas, California and later moved to Monterey Bay where I pursued a career and education in marine biology. I have worked for CSU Monterey Bay as an assistant SCUBA instructor, for the Monterey Bay Aquarium as an Aquarist and also for an engineering company called Tenji that designs and installs aquatic exhibits around the world. With the guidance from professors and co-workers who were former CMA graduates I now find myself in the MET program to further my education. My favorite color is scotch, I prefer earthquakes to tornadoes and I like girls who walk their cats with leashes. I look forward to hearing from you and working together to make CMA a better place for all who attend. Thank you, Lee Padon Morrow
