Recently, I was in Tampa at the Florida DOT District 7 Headquarters. FDOT was awarded a 2015 National Roadway Safety Award for their work on the Automated Lighting Measurement System (ALMS). Here I am holding the award they received. The National Roadway Safety Awards are given every other year to recognize outstanding achievements in the area of roadway safety. The ALMS is something that I pioneered earlier in my career when working as a researcher at the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida. The staff and students there and my good friends at Tyndale Oliver and Associates have continued the work and made it worthy of this national recognition. It is pretty nice to see something that you started being taken to new heights of excellence and being recognized by your peers.

For 2018, I have committed myself to strive to continue living by the 5 L's:
  1. Lord - I desire to give God glory in all that I do.  
  2. Love - I strive to be a better husband and father this year
  3. Labor - work diligently and joyfully in all that I do.
  4. Learn - I will strive to continually learn and grow. 
  5. Laugh - I will continue to have fun doing the things that I do and try to share that laughter and joy with others. For instance, check out our Employee of the Month page.
