James Dunphy, MBA '01, put his classroom learning to good use right away, doing the market research and setting up the processes for starting a bank as part of his MBA coursework. Today, he is the CEO and President of Hampshire First Bank, based in Manchester with branches in Nashua and Keene. Dunphy says of his experience with Franklin Pierce professors, "They enjoyed their work - it was their passion. It was obviously more than a job for them. They cared enough to help you expand and they also helped you balance the demands of life, school, work and family."
