Company History
The founder and CEO of Oxbow Carbon graduated from Culver Military Academy in Indiana before receiving his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Koch’s father had been given the opportunity to attend MIT 40 years before his son, thanks to the generosity of a local businessman. In a certain sense, Oxbridge Academy and its groundbreaking need-based financial aid program is Mr. Koch’s way of repaying that act of kindness.
In Mr. Koch’s view, providing students with the type of life-defining educational experience Oxbridge Academy offers not only benefits young people and their families, it also presents an extraordinary opportunity to advance our communities – on both a local and global scale.
