We are proud to recognize our 2024 VSRA Tradesperson of the Year nominee, Stephen Howard, and Junior Tradesperson of the Year nominee, Travis Jackson. Mr. Stephen Howard began his career at Colonna's over 40 years ago as a member of the dock shop. Since then, he has developed a wide range of trade skills—from structural work to rigging—and has earned certifications to operate nearly all of our heavy equipment. Stephen is our go-to expert for heavy equipment operations, ensuring that even the toughest jobs are completed efficiently, effectively, and, above all, safely. A significant part of his role is mentoring junior mechanics, apprentices, interns, and management trainees. His commitment to excellence sets a standard for not only the next generation of tradespeople but for everyone around him. Travis Jackson, who graduated this year from our apprenticeship program, continually pursues training opportunities to grow as a marine electrician. He is frequently recognized for his innovative solutions to complex challenges, enabling projects to finish on time and within budget. Safety is a cornerstone of Travis's work. He often leads safety training sessions, is an ambassador for our lock-out/tag-out program, and vigilantly monitors work areas for hazards. Additionally, Travis's commitment extends beyond work; he is an active member of his community and church, participating in initiatives like neighborhood cleanups, food drives, and other outreach events. Both Stephen and Travis embody the values we strive to uphold at Colonna's Shipyard. Their hard work and commitment inspire us all and set a standard of excellence for the industry. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and look forward to seeing their continued impact on our team and community. #Colonnas1875 #RespectPrideTruthFamily #VSRATradespersonOfTheYear #SkilledTrades
