Benedictine Military School has alumni working at businesses throughout the country, including a concentration of alumni working at many businesses in Savannah. One such company is Hancock Askew & Co., an accounting firm that offers a full range of tax, accounting, and consulting services for businesses ranging from family-owned start-ups to international concerns.

“Today, we have eight partners in Savannah and five of them are BC graduates,” said Hancock Askew Managing Partner Michael McCarthy, a 1987 Benedictine graduate. “We have two women partners. They happen to both be married to BC graduates.”

The story of Jeff Iannone, president and chief executive officer of the Ables, Iannone, Moore & Associates investment advisory firm in Savannah, and his family cannot be written without Benedictine Military School, just as the story of BC’s success is incomplete without the Iannones’ impact.

Jeff, BC Class of 1987, and his wife, Robyn, a St. Vincent’s Academy graduate, are 1990 graduates of Auburn University. All three of their sons – Nick (2018), Tony (2019), and Charlie (2023) – graduated from Benedictine. Nick graduated from Auburn and works in New York City. Tony graduated from Auburn and works in Atlanta. Charlie is a sophomore at Auburn. Their daughter, Maggie, graduated from St. Vincent’s Academy, the University of Georgia, and is married to Tucker Coppage (BC Class of 2015).

Perhaps the greatest gift Susan Oetgen ever gave her husband, Bob, was a present he never received.

Robert “Bob” Mays Oetgen, Benedictine Military School Class of 1950, died June 15, 2022, after an extended illness. He was 89 years old. Soon after Bob passed away, Susan established the Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Oetgen ’50 Endowed Scholarship at Benedictine Military School to help young men attend BC.

Calling all Benedictine Military School Alumni!!! It is that time of year again where BC needs support from all our alumni. We are launching the “4 Days for THE 400” Alumni Campaign in support of the Benedictine Fund on Monday, April 29, and it will run through Thursday, May 2 - ONLY 4 DAYS!

We are excited to announce that Mr. Billy Robinson '78 and Dr. Paul Hinchey ’02 graciously agreed to chair this year’s campaign. They know the importance of the Benedictine Fund and the role it plays in BC’s present and future success. We hope your loyalty will shine through and you will support our Cadets.

For Sam Geha, Benedictine Military School Class of 2014, running the race of his life has resulted in the opportunity of a lifetime.
