MISC

In addition to my career at Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex, the Chemical Plant

announced its closure in June of 2008. This was due to business conditions associ-

ated with the 2008 Recession, as well as other issue's. At that time, Volunteers were

sought to remain at the facility for demolition services. Several employees volun-

teered, but only a few stayed. I am one of the volunteers that remained and helped

bring the business to an orderly close. In March of 2009, I was hired by

CH2MHILL to liquidate the assets, and demolition the site I had worked at for 17

years. With the help of my good friend Leon Lewis, We managed to complete the

demolition with no injuries, no fines, and a very satisfied client.
