Welcome New Committee Members
Newsletter Chair Coby Long, CSP
I grew up in North Central Missouri and after graduation joined the US Army. Once I completed my active duty time I continued in the Army Reserves while attending university at Oklahoma State University (OSU) studying Fire Protection and Safety Engineering. While at OSU I married my wonderful wife of 23 years, Codi Adair, we have 3 amazing kids, 2 sons Chaz (19) and Gavin (16) and our daughter Aedan (17). I’ve worked in project management / construction for over 20 years working all over the US and most recently Saudi Arabia for the last 7 years. My last project was to build a city in the middle of the desert covering roughly 5 square miles. I joined Turner Construction in August of 2021 as a Site Safety Manager for a massive Data Center campus build that we have ongoing in New Albany for Meta. I’m always looking for more people to join our safety team (shameless plug). When not working I enjoy playing golf, volunteering as a baseball coach, spending time with my family and trying to improve my BBQ pit master skills. I love to spend time working my smoker and manning the grill. We love supporting our favorite sports team and If there is an opportunity to smoke/grill to show my support I’ll be doing it.
