Professional accomplishments: After four years as equipment manager, repair costs are down, the fleet is more reliable, preventive maintenance is being performed on a routine basis, and equipment rates are far more accurate and reflective of the actual costs of operating the fleet. I designed the equipment rate system based on the material taught by Mike Vorster and custom tailored it to fit the unique needs of Nelson Lewis.

Extracurricular: I am the Deacon in charge of organizing community events at the Marble Falls Church of Christ. I also work through my church helping Child Protective Services reunite parents with their children
