I’ve had the privilege of being part of the fire and security industry since the early 2000s. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—engineer, estimator, surveyor, sales rep, systems designer, national account manager, and new business development manager. Through it all, I’ve worked with some incredible people, many of whom have become lifelong friends (some now retired), and I've had the pleasure of working on some special projects, Spitbank Fort and Stanbrook Abbey springs to mind. I love this industry for many reasons. But one challenge has been ever-present: bringing new talent into the industry. It's something we've struggled with since before I started, and with a wave of experienced professionals set to retire in the next decade or so, the future looks uncertain. Since moving over to the dark side (recruitment 😬) I’ve experienced it even further. So, what’s the solution? How do we as an industry attract and retain the next generation of talent in fire and security? Before they all turn into “influencers” 🥱 Interested to hear your thoughts. #fireandsecurity

Rescue to Revenue: How Coast Guard Readiness Translates into Sales Mastery During my time in the Coast Guard, the motto "Semper Paratus" (Always Ready) was more than words—it was a way of life. Whether braving stormy seas or performing high-stakes rescues, I learned the value of discipline, preparation, and quick thinking. These experiences pushed me to always go above and beyond, striving to be head and shoulders above the rest in every mission. When I transitioned into the business world, those lessons didn’t just stay with me—they evolved. "Semper Paratus" became my foundation, but in business, I armed myself with "Semper Sigillans" (Always Sealing). I saw every opportunity, whether a sale or a client relationship, as a chance to apply the same discipline and determination I had in the Coast Guard. Through hard work, focus, and relentless drive, I transformed challenges into successes, growing into a leader who never misses an opportunity to deliver results. Just as I was prepared to rescue others in turbulent waters, I now help businesses navigate challenges, building partnerships that are as strong and reliable as my Coast Guard training taught me to be. From readiness to sealing the deal, I’m always striving for excellence.#coasties

I love hiring events like this. Why? Engagement. Applicants receive on the spot interviews within a more relaxed environment, and our Team has the potential to hire for more than just one position should the opportunity presents itself. A successful hiring event is only one piece of a comprehensive Talent Management strategy. I do enjoy what I do! #Roads&Drainage #ILoveHR #DataGeek #DataAnalytics #TalentManagement #collaboration #makethechange #UnapologeticallyTalented

KILLING SUPERMAN! We made this video 4 years ago. The Pandemic was raging and killing. We had some dark thoughts. At AmeriConstruct, when we talk with candidates for Superintendent, Project Manager, Estimator, or other key roles in construction, we want to know their motivation for looking for or considering a new position. Motivation is vital to the recruitment process because it tells us about the candidate's mindset, experience as an employee, and what they need to see (or not see) in their next role - valuable information. Yes, we made this video 4 years ago. No Pandemic now. But concerning to look back and see that nothing has changed in the candidate experience. Candidates are repeating that they are still getting killed by their current or prospective employers! How alarming!! Hiring Managers take note. This is a big reason why you lose your top performers and also stifle your own hiring process and success. Are you killing Superman? Recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent is a complex endeavor. Don't try it at home! #recruiting #hiring #retention #hiringmanagers #construction https://lnkd.in/gs8-MVY9

Each April, the Memphis District observes its own special weeklong recognition of its WORLD-CLASS Skilled Trades Workforce at Ensley Engineer Yard—the PREMIER Marine Maintenance Facility. Our Skilled Trades Workforce are highly trained, skilled, respected, and highly dedicated professionals who are vital to the Nation. We only have to see the national news broadcasts about clearing the wreckage of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge from the Patapsco River to get a sense for their importance to the Nation. Removing the bridge wreckage and clearing the river channel would be impossible without the expertise of Skilled Trades Professionals. The bridge collapse shutdown ship traffic at the Port of Baltimore and stopped both cargo and commuter traffic. The port is a major East Coast hub for shipping. The Patapsco River is used to reach the Chesapeake Bay and then the Atlantic Ocean. The very important, complicated, and highly dangerous work of removing the wreckage requires a host of different Skilled Trade professions.  In this and many other instances, Skilled Trades Professionals have a direct and positive impact on our Nation. #memphisdistrictwinning
