Current Update: After graduating from San Francisco State University with his degree in Environmental Studies in May, Austin joined the YeskeBuie team and couldn’t be any happier with his choice. After a brief post-graduation trip to Dallas, Texas to visit family, Austin returned to San Francisco and has been learning the ropes at YeskeBuie, really getting a grasp on our Live Big® philosophy.
The firm’s retreat in July was a spectacular getaway and an incredible learning experience about the firm’s culture. In addition to the planned activities, Austin was able to get out into the redwoods and really take in the beauty of Northern California’s natural environment. Retreat was filled with long conversations with colleagues, loud laughs with friends, and was an overall immersive and unforgettable experience.
Outside of YeskeBuie, Austin has been reconnecting with post-grad downtime since graduating. He has attended a few live music shows and has a couple more planned in the coming weeks. He also attended his first ever Golden State Valkyries game in June! For the rest of the summer, Austin wants to continue to hone his skills at the firm while planning daytrips on the road, binge watching TV, hiking at Mt. Diablo, taking to the beach, keeping his dog, Rango, busy, and possibly discovering new a new hobby.
