My path to Air Liquide started with a referral. While working on a nuclear refueling project at the shipyard, I was introduced to a Plant Manager who was a retired Navy Master Chief. That connection turned into an application, which led to me joining the team as a Plant Manager in 2016. Today, I oversee the Mississippi River Pipeline network.
Translating Nuclear Precision to Operations
My years in the Navy focused on nuclear plant operations, maintenance, and repair. Those technical skillsets, coupled with military discipline, were the foundation for my success at Air Liquide.
The transition is more direct than you might think:
