‘I came here as a young officer in the United States Coast Guard. At that time, I actually took a course at Lamar, Advanced Legal Principles, and I have worked with graduates of Lamar throughout my career in the Coast Guard here in this region....When I was at Motiva I worked with great engineers, they were from this region and so much of the intellectual capital throughout our region is from Lamar University and those people are vested in this community, they care about this community and they want to make it better. So, it is very special, the relationship that Lamar has with our community and with the industry and that partnership propels our region forward. I am the new executive director of the Port Management Department for Lamar University and I have been here for about a month, but I am very proud to be here and happy to be working at Lamar.’
