 By Lisa Peters, News Reporter - "Wine, Dine and Pipeline" is what Anthony Wyatt and his business, Wyatt Construction Company, Inc., are all about.Wyatt was recognized Friday as the first Kiamichi Technology Center Champion during a luncheon held in his honor at the Poteau campus.This honor is the first of its kind and is presented to "A shining example of what the Kiamichi Technology Centers are in business to do - train students to go to work and be successful."Those in attendance were able to meet the Champion and members of his family. They also heard Wyatt's high school principal and KTC welding instructor reminisce about having the successful businessman in class. Wyatt attended KTC during his junior and senior years at Heavener High School. His welding instructor was Bill Shero who encouraged his students to be leaders and do their best. Shero impressed Wyatt by brining blueprints to class and telling his students about projects he and his son had been working on overseas. Shero convinced Wyatt and his fellow classmates that successful welders can earn good salaries.Wyatt took this advise to heart. During his senior year Wyatt served as VICA president and became a successful gradate of the welding program. He worked for several pipeline companies before starting his own company in Ponca City in 1989. Wyatt Construction now employs 150 people and generates approximately $25 million in contracts annually. Wyatt describes himself at a "working owner" and he does everything from throwing skids and running the equipment to serving a project superintendent.His hard work has paid off as the company recently expanded to Weatherford, Texas. Wyatt Construction specializes in all types of pipe welding for refineries, powerhouses, petrochemical, pulp and paper, compressor stations and metering facilities. Although Wyatt keeps a busy schedule he is a family man and makes time for his wife, Cary, and their five children.
