Chilton went on to say “Rick is a seasoned traffic safety professional, having spent the past 30+ years working for Modern Alloys, a large regional guardrail contractor in Southern California.

Rick has a tremendous amount of expertise and knowledge in and about the market for traffic safety market place and we are anxious to have him on the NTS team”.
“The Anaheim market is a unique location for NTS”, commented Chilton. “We entered the market at the request of some of our key customers and a key supplier to establish a traffic safety presence in Southern California and we focus exclusively on traffic safety in this market.

Tom and the Anaheim team have done a great job establishing NTS in the market and the branch has exceeded our expectations since it was opened. With Rick taking over the day to day management of the branch, we are excited about the chance to continue to expand our customer base and market share in Southern, CA area.”
