Preston Page

Young Alumnus of the Year

Preston Page

Preston Page graduated from NDSCS in 2007 with an Electrical Technology degree. He continued his education at UND, earning a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship and a Master of Business Administration.

Preston is the founder and President of Dakota Energy, LLC, an oil and gas land company focused on the Williston Basin. He credits much of his success to the education he received at NDSCS and understands and appreciates the opportunities that NDSCS provides.

A strong supporter of North Dakota’s trades and industries, Preston created the “Dakota Energy-Preston and Chelsea Page Endowment”. This endowment is a testament to his belief in providing young, bright minds with a future in the North Dakota Workforce, a belief that was nurtured during his time at NDSCS. Any eligible student planning to enter the trades and study at NDSCS can apply for the “Dakota Energy-Preston and Chelsea Page Endowment” scholarship, which will award $2,500 this coming year. Preston continues to grow this endowment annually.

Yoney Fobb, NDSCS Director of Gift Planning, says, “Preston encompasses what it means to be a Young Alumnus of the Year.” As a young alumnus, Preston values and sees the benefit of giving back. The Alumni Foundation appreciates his enthusiasm for, and understanding of, everything a technical college can offer.

Preston lives in Mandan, ND, and is married to Chelsea. They have 3 children: Leo, Max, and Liv.
