    I started in construction when I was 16. I worked at Brown and Root building the first deep water oil rig when I was 17. I served an apprenticeship for pipe fitting when I was 21. I went to two welding schools. One for Arc. And one for Mig welding. I have worked in fabrication shops.

    About the project

    MVP received federal approval in June 2023. The U.S. Supreme Court ordered in August for construction on MVP to resume, granting a request to lift lower court orders that had halted the project and (again) delayed its completion.

    In April 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission amended Mountain Valley Pipeline's 2017 Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, supporting project completion under water bodies with specific construction methods. MVP, which is already 94% complete, still needs authorization from other agencies for work in remaining streams and wetlands.

    With a vast supply of natural gas from Marcellus and Utica shale production, MVP is expected to provide up to two million dekatherms per day of firm transmission capacity to markets in the Mid- and South Atlantic regions of the U.S.
