GREET WAL’S NEW FACILITIES SHOP FOREMAN

Rashawnda Atkinson, Editor

After being a part of the Watergate at Landmark staff for 3 years in
the Environmental Services and Maintenance Departments, manage-
ment is pleased to announce that Bryan Fingers is our newly ap-
pointed Shop Foreman as of January 2019. This is the person who
makes sure our common areas maintain that resort-style look we
have at WAL. Does he look familiar to you? It’s probably because
he was the 2017 Employee of the Year at WAL.

Prior to accepting this position, Bryan was a Building Engineer in
our community. You may have seen him caring for our indoor pool
plants. Although he graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University in 2013, Bryan still seeks to become a
better professional through taking continuing education courses
through the National Association of Power Engineers (NAPE). He
is working towards becoming a certified Electrician through the
courses he takes via NAPE.

When asked about how he feels regarding this new responsibility,
Bryan said, “I’m excited about the opportunity and looking forward
to the challenge.”

Congratulations again to Bryan for accepting this responsibility.
The Shop Foreman and his staff works hard to keep
our place second to none.
