EXPERIENCE WITH EAB

"When I got the interview with EAB, I sat down at Gaylon Richardson’s desk. He was the Vice President of EAB at the time and his first words to me were, ‘Do you know who I am?’ Being a nervous 23-year-old, I answered, ‘No sir.’ His response was, ‘I was your little league baseball coach.’ Right then I knew I was home. As I looked around the office, I saw people that I grew up with and already had memories of. I didn't know any of this walking into the interview. Working at EAB is like working with family. Everyone genuinely cares about one another, both at work and at home. My family and I are truly blessed to have found such a wonderful career and company to work for."

Which of these core values (Integrity, Quality, Consistency and Teamwork) do you most identify with, and what does it mean to you?

Definitely Teamwork. Teamwork is working together towards a common vision. EAB accomplishes this by adhering to our core values. This quote accurately describes the atmosphere of Teamwork at EAB: “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” -Henry Ford

What is your absolute favorite thing about working for EAB?

What did you want to be when you were little?

I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I grew up watching Ken Caminiti who played for the Houston Astros and was amazed at his ability and arm strength. In high school and college, I had one of the strongest arms on the field. I had a few first basemen that hated when the ball was hit to me. Sorry guys.

What do you like to do on your days off?

Hunting, fishing, boating, and watching my boys amaze me. My oldest son Alec is a Junior Elite gymnast training for the 2021 Trampoline and Tumbling Worlds in Baku, Azerbaijan.
