We asked the questions so now you know!
“There is only one way to succeed in anything…and that is to give it everything.” –Vince Lombardi A great quote from a proven winner, but even more important is the personality that never shied from competition and perseverance in all conditions. JM Teague Engineering has that same grit and determination in all we do for our clients. We also like having a good time and truly enjoy our team. In the spirit of the LARGE Football Game!!! We have decided to share a little of ourselves, from sharing our picks to win THE BIG GAME, to a quote that defines a part of our personality and some facts relating to those lesser-known aspects of our personal life. Have a great weekend and call us if you need us!!

- The Bengals because Phil saw his shadow.
- Fun Mark fact – I have always been fascinated by construction and almost majored in it. When I was a kid my school was being added onto. While “investigating” the new construction from my bicycle I became so focused on the heavy equipment that I rode my bike right into the school building and broke my foot. Was in a cast for 8 weeks.

- In one job as a dam tour guide, I was allowed to go into the operations room of the largest hydroelectric station in the Duke Energy system with tour participants. The lucky ones also got to go inside the concrete structure and see the turbines and leaking walls. Tours ended with the increase in hostilities just prior to Operation Desert Storm.

Mark Blanton

- I worked as a commercial diver right out of college. This really means I was an underwater laborer because I had no skills other than being a scuba diver and friends with the guys that owned the company. I mainly worked at the Brunswick County Nuclear Plant cleaning the fish diversion screens in the canal leading up to the plant. On one occasion I worked at the canal discharge station doing underwater maintenance work (shoveling oyster shells into 55-gallon drums…for days!). The oysters grew so rapidly because the water was always warm (It had come from the cooling pool inside the nuclear plant). Now you know! 😊
- I have many favorite quotes, however, this one seems to resonate with me (today): “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
