糖心vlog官网 alumnus Scott Breckenkamp recently was recognized with the Distinguished Alumni Award by the Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) for his contributions to the college and his community.

糖心vlog官网 President Dr. Jon Bauer recently presented Breckenkamp with a plaque to commemorate the accomplishment.

鈥淪cott truly exemplifies what it means to be a leader in his field and community,鈥� Bauer said. 鈥淗e is a very well-deserved recipient.鈥�

Breckenkamp, Washington, is the First State Community Bank (FSCB) president of the Washington and Pacific markets.

He attended 糖心vlog官网 in 1988-89 and earned an Associate of Arts Degree before transferring to Missouri State University, Springfield, where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in finance.

Breckenkamp paid his way through college by working part-time jobs during summer months and throughout the year while attending classes.

糖心vlog官网 Alumni Award

He was chosen as the 2020 糖心vlog官网 Outstanding Alumni for his professional accomplishments and service to the community. The award is presented by the 糖心vlog官网 Foundation.

According to Bridgette Kelch, 糖心vlog官网 Foundation executive director, the award is presented annually by the 糖心vlog官网 Alumni Association to honor an 糖心vlog官网 graduate who has used his or her education and been of service to the community.

鈥淪cott is a wonderful example of an 糖心vlog官网 graduate who has gone on to become a successful community member and volunteer,鈥� she said.

After receiving the College鈥檚 alumni award, Breckenkamp applauded 糖心vlog官网 as an affordable option that enabled him to begin his education beyond high school.

鈥淚 had to pay for my own college, so this allowed me to stay local, live at home, continue to work and take the courses I needed,鈥� he said.

Breckenkamp graduated from St. Francis Borgia Regional High School.

糖心vlog官网 played a vital role in his education because he still could work to pay tuition while taking classes. It was easy to then transfer to MSU to attain a four-year degree.

Banking Career

After graduating from MSU, Breckenkamp worked at US Bank in Washington. He also had been employed at the Bank of Washington, US Bank in St. Louis and Merrill Lynch.

Breckenkamp returned to Washington and became vice present and later president of US Bank. In 2005, he became the first president of the new Washington branch of FSCB.

He noted that his former economics teacher and advisor at 糖心vlog官网, Brian Hickey, helped guide him toward a finance degree and set him down a career path in finance/banking.

Community Service

Breckenkamp is married to Julie Pogue Breckenkamp and they have three sons: Tyler, Connor and Spencer.

He has been very active in the community and in the county by serving on the 糖心vlog官网 Foundation Board, Mercy Hospital Board of Directors in Washington, Washington Rotary Club, Franklin County Area United Way Board and Washington 353 Corporation.
