John Primus, 1965

Department of Economics alumnus John Primus has lived and worked in California most of his life. But he says it was the “common sense values and work ethic” from his upbringing on an Iowa farm and his time at Iowa State University that helped form his career the most.

“I currently work for Bunge Global in White Plains, which I joined last January as part of the global research team. The work is exciting and it never gets boring. I started as an oilseed analyst, learning about the business, and I now work on different projects in modeling and forecasting.”

Roman Lynch (Captain Midnight), 1976

“I graduated in 1976 from ISU’s Department of Economics and thought I was ready to become a citizen of the world. As it turned out, I stayed in Ames, took a job selling life insurance, and got involved in the Lions Club, Toastmasters, and St. Thomas Aquinas Church.”
