Dustin was consistently promoted on the merits of his work as a environmental compliance engineer, project manager, and performance improvement consultant. While at BGE, he also earned his Master's in Business Administration and positioned his career on a management path. Dustin and his wife left Baltimore in the fall of 2014 for his wife to take a professorship at the University of California at San Diego. He decided that he would take this opportunity to develop some of the softer skills need for his management goals, and co-founded a biotech startup with his wife from technology she helped to develop while at Johns Hopkins University.
