OneD site manager took a roundabout path

MOSES LAKE — Nick Kamerath didn’t set out to run a high-tech chemical plant, but here he is. “If you were a high-performing academic student … (you were expected to be) either a doctor or lawyer and I didn't really necessarily want to be either,” he said. “I got out of high school and started doing general studies, kind of eliminating things like ‘Well, I don't want to do that, don't want to do that.’ And as I wrapped up my associate’s in general studies, it kind of narrowed down to chemical engineering. I was riding the bus to Weber State University, and the bus the other direction went to the University of Utah. So I just switched sides of the street to go the other way.”
