Summary

In my 13 years in TPA department I have been involved in many changes in our processes. I have worked hard to take the lead in my crews' activities. My contributions to the department and my efforts along with with fellow crew members have helped me to advance to the Utility Operator level. As a Utility Operator I have strived to lead my crew by example in all phases of our chemical operator position. I have a great working relationship with the Team Managers, Area Manager, and Department Superintendent. I feel like we work well together to make TPA a safe and productive place to work. TPA's Safety and Production record is proof of our accomplishments. I'm very proud to say I have been a big part of that success.
