Most recently, he has worked in heavy civil construction up and down the west coast of the United States. With Collins Electrical, he hopes to expand his knowledge and skills. He enjoys spending time with family, testing recipes, and learning new things.
Welcome aboard, Corey!
Cold & Flu
If you don’t already know, this flu season has been HORRIBLE. In fact, it’s the worst we’ve had in nearly a decade! But how do you know if you have a cold or the flu? Read the CDC’s article here, and check out the helpful (and funny) charts below!
Uh oh! Looks like Melanee Euless, Fresno Branch’s Office Manager, had fallen victim to this awful flu! Below are pictures of her office in quarantine! Try and stay healthy, everyone!
Leadership Continues into 2018!
Our leadership training is continuing strong into the new year! We can’t wait to see how all of the Collins team continues to grow and progress with this awesome endeavor. Below is a photo of Metro Branch Local Union 595 and Fresno Branch electricians together with Amanda King for their foreman leadership training.
Community Service
Rotary Read-In
The Collins team had a blast participating in this year’s Rotary Read-In at Monroe Elementary School!
KAT Country’s St. Jude’s Fundraiser
On February 17th, the Collins Electrical Telephone Bank team answered phones for KAT Country 103’s radiothon to benefit the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The team was able to bring in $4,000! And overall, the fundraiser was able to raise $145,712 to help fight childhood cancer! Amazing job, team!
