Meet the Team: Zach Newman

It’s time again to introduce a new CDFL employee, or as we like to think of ourselves, the “us” in the Power of Plus. This week we are proud to introduce the newest member of our engineering team Zach Newman.

What do you do at CDFL?
I am an engineer in training working in the electrical department. I previously worked for a contractor so it’s fun to see this side of things.

What exciting thing are you working on right now?
We are working on the Manning Center renovation at Ole Miss. This is particularly exciting for me because I went to school there!

What have you learned so far working at CDFL?
I have learned to use Revit.

What’s your favorite TV show? 
My favorite TV show is Sopranos.

What do you spend the most time doing outside of work?
Outside of work I mainly hunt and fish.

What’s the last movie you saw?   
The last movie I saw was Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds. I do not recommend it, but it was the first time I have been in a movie theatre in over 2 years, so I am glad I went.

What's your favorite lunch spot in the neighborhood?
My favorite lunch spot is Walkers. My go-to at Walkers is the Redfish Anna. It’s so good!

If you hadn't gone to engineering school, what would you have wanted to do?
I would have been a produce farmer. I worked on a produce farm throughout college planting, harvesting, and fixing things around the property. If engineering didn’t work out, I would have pursued that as a career.

What's your favorite vacation spot?
My favorite vacation spot is Venice, Louisiana. Venice is a great place to fish.
