I have been with SEC for little over a year now. Construction is a new adventure for me. They say it’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks so I have been learning a lot about what it takes to build and repair things. When I moved to Hattiesburg, Patrick Ward was my contractor for my house and did an excellent job. I had been retired from my former job about 2 years and was eager to get back to work. Patrick was so gracious to hire me part time to handle the daily office procedures. I have found that working here at SEC has been such a delight and a learning experience. We work hard here in the office to make sure that our customers are our primary goal and that their job runs as smoothly as possible.
