TYSON
PARDEE
Assistant Engineer
Assistant Engineer Tyson joined our staff originally as an intern and once his intership was up....we realized we could not operate without him! We welcomed him on board as Assistant Engineer. Shortly thereafter, he was married to a beautiful young lady (Tracy) from California, which is where Tyson is also from.
So within a few weeks Tyson moved to Nashville, came to work for us, got married and moved his new bride to Nashville! That is a lot of change for a young man! They like being in Nashville but miss their families!
Tyson is a valuable employee of our company and we know that you will appreciate his commitment to excellence and his gentle professionalism.
