This appointment is well-deserved, and I look forward to the impact he will continue to have in this new role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nick described himself as \u201chonored, humbled, and excited,\u201d by this appointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 1996, I was just looking for an opportunity to start my engineering career,\u201d he said. \u201cNever in my wildest dreams would I have thought, 29 years later, I would still be with the same company, much less appointed to the Board of Directors and named an Executive Vice President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always believed in Neel-Schaffer, its culture, and its leadership. I look forward to working with the Board and all Neel-Schaffer employees as we strive for continued success and to drive our company vision forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Louisiana State University.
