How Did You Come to ECS?

“I answered a newspaper ad in Aberdeen, MD. I came in and talked to Irv Fischer, who hired me. I started as a technician. After couple weeks working in the Aberdeen Office, they asked me to work in the soils and concrete laboratory as a manager in order to maintain AASHTO laboratory licenses and certifications. I became a specialty technician, and I was training new technicians. So I moved into a project manager position.”
