Who I Work for and Proudly Represent:
Manifesto
I know that what I am doing makes a real difference in the world. I know that the projects that I am currently involved in, as well as the ones that are completed and we can drive on are having a positive affect on peoples lives. I am helping to make driving/walking/biking safer, and improve the infrastructure of the communities that I work in.
What drives me is the fact that I can see clearly what needs to get done in order for a community to move it's project forward and make use of the funding they have available through TDOT. It is frustrating when, for a whole host of reasons projects that could happen don't.
I believe that the Federal and State tax dollars for transportation should be used to get projects going. Transportation projects create jobs, improve safety, and make life better for everyone. I am a small part of making that process work.
Why do I wake up in the morning? To help people and communities get their projects going,and keep them moving forward to make the world a better place for my son.
