I have very close ties with the MCI of CMA 15 Wade Nichol as he was my foreman with Emcon and is well versed with what is necessary in all the highway maintenance contract needs for the surrounding areas. I am family-oriented with my wife, kids, grandkids, and also with my staff and other staff from various other shops.

I look forward to meeting with you if the chance arises.
