Story 6 out of 30
What is your first memory of WSB?
Meeting Ms. Tonette Mitchell. On my very first day going into the Houston office for training, she greeted me with the biggest smile and with so much love. It made me feel like I made the right decision to switch careers.
What stands out to you about WSB’s culture and values?
The culture is what stands out the most. It’s very family oriented.
Who is someone you’ve worked with at WSB that has really inspired or influenced you?
There are so many people, a few come to mind: Damascus Porter is a great leader. He trained me and allowed me to grow while still being able to be myself. He inspires me not only as a co-worker but as a brother. He was there for me when I lost my brother two years ago and I can’t repay him with any amount of money. Same goes for my guy AO. We started in training together. The first few days we tried to out dress the other when coming to the office. He’s another guy that’s a great leader and is doing tremendous things here at WSB. Then we have Misti Daigle. When I took over as the lead in the south, she made sure I had everything I needed to be successful in the field.
What do you think WSB does really well that more people should know about?
Damage prevention. I also see a lot of opportunities for growth and expansion in this field.
If you could say one thing to all our clients as we celebrate this milestone, what would it be?
We are the best in the business.
Fast forward 30 years – what do you think people will say about WSB’s impact on the world?
That this fast-growing company made a big impact in several different spaces in construction.
