Josh Mirenda and Gary Garris have written some of the biggest songs in country music. On July 25, they’re bringing Nashville to Pebble Beach.

Josh is the songwriter behind hits like Dierks Bentley’s “Somewhere on a Beach” and Jason Aldean’s “Girl Like You,” and his solo track “I Got You” has over 20 million streams. Gary started as a songwriter and is now building his own following with tracks like “Summer Time Summer Girl” and “Stuck on You.”
Most students arrive to NPS after 8 to 12 years to military service, often after enduring multiple deployments to hazardous regions, separated from their families for extended periods. Monterey becomes a sanctuary for them, a time to prioritize time with family while advancing their education.

After graduating from NPS, these students return to the fast-paced duties of military service, equipped with enhanced skills and knowledge to tackle the national security challenges ahead. The Naval Postgraduate School Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing the student and family experience during their time on the Central Coast.

This event's objective is to build support for the Naval Postgraduate School’s students who are valued members of our community and for the School’s mission to equip our nation's military leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to address the national security challenges of today and tomorrow.

By supporting NPS, we are investing in the future of our community and our nation.


Thank you Dan & Shelly Lynch, Andrew & Barbara Rosenberg
