It is with great pleasure that we introduce Christopher Hebert, an accomplished Naval Officer and one of our most recent dealers to join the TMP family. Christopher's new dealership, Techno Metal Post Evergreen, spans the territory from the Kitsap Peninsula to Mount Rainier in Washington state and is ideally located to make an impact in his region. With an impressive background and a wealth of experience, there is much to discuss below.
After spending his last year of high school as an exchange student in Germany, he enlisted in the army as a Chinese Mandarin linguist and later completed an Associate of Arts in Chinese Mandarin. After leaving the army, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in English and then went on to study architecture at the University of Hawaii before eventually switching to civil engineering. He ultimately earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering and later completed a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Washington. Christopher is a licensed Professional Engineer and holds various other certifications and professional memberships.
Christopher boasts over 15 years of experience in the Naval Civil Engineers Corps, having held various leadership positions. Most recently the Director of the Engineering and Acquisition Division for the US Naval Base Kitsap Bangor where he led a team that oversaw $500M in construction and services. His interest in helical piles began when he did a research project on modular construction while completing his Master of Science in Civil Engineering at the University of Washington. He said, “I saw helical piles as a compatible adjacent technology for modular construction and recognized the growth potential and need for efficient foundation solutions.” His deep interest and research eventually led him to Techno Metal Post.
As a father to four children, a husband, and a professional, Christopher was looking for a different career that would offer him a better work-life harmony as well as the challenge and satisfaction of entrepreneurship. It was then that he decided to dive deeper and look into becoming a dealer with TMP. Christopher mentioned that although still young, his second son has already taken a keen interest in helical piles. He appreciates that his son has an excited viewpoint for his latest work and says this reminds him to remain focused on simplicity and the essentials.
He wants to provide an efficient foundation solution for modular construction within the fast-growing housing industry and knows as an engineer that helical piles are an ideal solution for many applications. He also mentioned that he appreciated TMP because we are a tight-knit company, that is supportive of one another and small business development. He told us, “As a professional engineer, I feel I’m well positioned to handle challenging jobs in my new role as a TMP dealer.”
Techno Metal Post is happy to have Christopher on board and wishes him great success ahead in his new venture!
