“This was very, very difficult and even with 12 years of industry experience, you know, it was still an arduous program. So I think people without this experience would have a lot of trouble getting through this process, so I’m dedicated to helping them,” said Morgan.

Morgan has pledged to give $10,000 annually to the Denver North High School Alumni Scholarship Foundation.
