Construction has always been a part of my life. After serving in the U.S. Air Force in 1962, I worked as an apprentice for Boh Brothers Construction.

In 1966, I met and married my dear wife and business partner, Mickey and we remain happily married and committed to our Christian faith. I have been blessed with three children. My daughters Cherie and Christy have given us 7 wonderful grandchildren. My son Mark is my bobcat operator and business partner.

In 1972, I joined the Jefferson Parish Fire Department where I served and retired after 28 years as Captain. In an effort to supplement my fire department wages, we decided to purchase a dump truck and began hauling dirt as a second job.

I quickly developed loyal customers and had constant requests to spread dirt. It was in 1978 when I first met Sid Duhon of Duhon Machinery. We instantly became friends and Sid remains one of my greatest friends and business associates. Everyone at Duhon has always gone out of their way to help in any way possible. Their team are top notch professionals.

My father-in-law, Charlie, who was like a second dad to me, together purchased our first bobcat. With the help of Sid, we began learning every aspect of the bobcat business. In just 2 years, our small business had grown into a fleet of 12 machines and the largest bobcat rental business in Louisiana. Charlie and I were constantly servicing, delivering and doing whatever it took to keep our customers happy and coming back. What was once a part-time endeavor, quickly became a full-time job. Mickey was busy all day answering phones, scheduling deliveries and keeping our books.

In 1982, we closed the rental business and continued in construction applications full-time. Our work expanded to include removal and replacement of driveways, sidewalks, patios and slabs. We worked on new construction and additions.

Four years ago, we embarked on a new endeavor---pile driving. We truly enjoy this type of construction and it has quickly become one of our most requested services. We can drive any class piling up to 40' and our specialty is minimum clearance. My son, Mark has operated the bobcat since he was a toddler (pictured bottom right).  He spread his first load of dirt at age 8. Today, he is able to maneuver the machine through the tightest of spaces with ease. 

We are the oldest bobcat business in Louisiana and we have the very best equipment in the industry. We take pride in our honesty, integrity and in the finished product. Our ultimate goal has always been to satisfy our customers.

We have developed relationships with specialist and engineers to aid us in creating a safe and closely monitored work environment.  Please be sure to visit our Favorite Links page to view their business cards.
