LOL i was just about to tell you about the church.
So he from upper midwest ( iirc ) - obviously he came down post Katrina to do lifting. I was one of a very few agents who knew where to go/what to get etc but i was also quite stringent on clients experience - that video now on website( he had no website back then ) was on his phone. I had him fwd that video to me while at my desk in 2008 or so, to send to the underwriters to show , yeah he knows what he is doing lol
and also IIRC - he and another developed what is now known as the "unified jacking system" - a large control panel with gauges and buttons and knobs ( i aint that "technical" lol ) that control the hydraulic jacks in unison. Prior to that, it was a bunch of dudes all depressing levers at the sound of the boss. lolol.
old school
