Bringing Favorable Winds to Projects |
|
Back in May of 2008, Production Superintendent Jay Swearingen turned in his keys, switched off the light and bid his colleagues goodbye. After 36 years in the energy industry—many spent overseas managing high-profile, high-capital projects for Chevron—Swearingen was looking forward to a low-key retirement, spent fixing up his beach house on Galveston’s Bolivar Peninsula, fishing and enjoying the sun and surf.
Then came Ike.
After Hurricane Ike, which cut a devastating path through the tiny coastal community, Swearingen knew it would take months for Galveston to re-establish the basic infrastructure needed for rebuilding. To keep himself busy, he joined Chevron’s Alumni Bridges Web site for former employees. His goal was to reconnect with colleagues and maybe take on a short-term project or two to keep him busy until Galveston residents received the all-clear to rebuild.
