WT DuBois Hires Brandon Hinton as Director of Business Development!

Brandon graduated from Ole Miss with a Masters Degree in Accounting in August of 1997.  Following graduation, Brandon lived in New Orleans for a couple of years working for Entergy Corporation in the Oil and Gas Accounting department. It was during this time Brandon realized he wanted to be in more of a sales role, which he began with Johnson Controls, Inc. in 2001, which brought him to Jackson, MS.  From the period 2001-2005, Brandon was Johnson Controls Healthcare Account Executive for a territory covering the State of Mississippi.  On August 29^th, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Brandon’s role started to transition when he began meeting casino executives and large developers.  Brandon developed a relationship with the top of Harrah’s Entertainment worldwide, who were interested in not only rebuilding their property in Biloxi, MS, but also interested in “Greening” their 70 properties around the world.  As a result, Brandon transitioned into Johnson Controls Corporate Real Estate, where he was Director of Business Development focused on Gaming and Hospitality around the country.  Brandon left Johnson Controls in March of 2009, and has held various Business Development roles since.   

WT DuBois Construction is expanding quickly across the United States and we are thrilled to have a top notch Business Development person like Brandon to help maintain our existing customer relationships as well as creating new ones!

WT DuBois Helps Harvest Young Talent!

We are sad to announce that Michael Wasyliw has finished up his third summer interning as a project engineer here at WT DuBois Construction. Michael is heading back to the University of Tennessee for another school year where he is studying architecture. The University offers a 5 year program where he will receive his BARCH degree. There is no doubt that he will go far after graduation. He is involved in both Hockey and Cycling teams at UT. He excels in both sports and is involved in clubs for each. He holds a position on the Deans student advising council and is a member of AIAS (American Institute for Architect Students).

Bill DuBois, President of WT DuBois Construction, has been extremely impressed with Michael’s performance each summer. This year Bill cut him a $1,500 bonus check he received on his last day at the office. WT DuBois feels privileged to be harvesting such potential. Bill DuBois feels that he has found a rare talent in Michael and wishes him the best of luck this school year. Bill and the WT DuBois team are looking forward to Michael's return next summer!
