Today, on National Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we honor and celebrate all those who served and still serve in our armed forces. Here at Liberty, we believe in offering support to our past and present military soldiers and their spouses and families. We proudly employ vet

We are honored to share the stories of our employees who have served or are still serving in the military, the skills they learned and how they transitioned those skills into their current roles with Liberty.

I served in the army from 2001 through 2009. I was stationed in Tikrit Iraq for all of 2004. I was a gunner on an up-armored Humm-v. We were responsible for providing convoy security throughout Iraq, but mostly operated in and around Baghdad. The picture with the swords was taken in the "Green Zone" in Baghdad. Serving in our military was one of the best things I've done in my life. It taught me discipline, integrity, and most of all being a leader.

I grew up in a proud military family, yet there was never an expectation to serve. However, when the September 11th attacks happened, my choice was made clear that I would serve our country. I served in the Marine Corps as a rifleman and assigned the role of a fireteam leader. During this time, I went through various combat training schools, learned a lot of individual leadership skills and team cohesion skills at the small unit level that played into the larger unit role. Many of these valuable leadership skills have proved valuable in civilian life. After a sometimes-challenging adjustment period and with the support of my wonderful wife and two loving children, I have been able to adapt. I first had an opportunity to work with Liberty as a contracted gas inspector starting in April of 2018 and was ecstatic when Liberty awarded me the role of Construction Supervisor (Gas) in October 2020.  One cannot put a price on the growth, opportunity, and challenges in joining Liberty.

  • Matt Burrows US Marine Corps 

I was a 25B – IT Specialist, my last position was LAN Manager for the 1-28 Infantry Battalion at Fort Riley, KS. I served 4 years and ended as a Specialist, E4. The military prepared me to work for Liberty. I managed the IT for an infantry battalion. This included installing and maintaining routers, switches, firewalls, exchange servers, active directory, and end user devices. I served as the unit IMO which led to vulnerability management as well as taking ownership of information assurance training for the unit. Each of these duties have proven to be valuable even after transitioning out of the military. I use the skills/knowledge I gained in that environment almost daily to assist the employees of Liberty. I started with Liberty in June 2018.

  • Chris Montorello LAN Manager 

I enlisted in the Air Force in 2005, and after being stationed in the Azores then Florida, I transitioned to the NH Air National Guard where I still serve as a Master Sergeant and RAWS (Radar, Airfield, and Weather Systems) Team Chief.  Many of the soft skills and technical skills I picked up in the Air Force make me a better engineer today.  Liberty has been very accommodating of my military service. When I had a short-notice activation to man a COVID vaccination site, Liberty and my management team made the transition as smooth as possible.

  • Marc Coleman Master Sergeant Team Chief 

I am a retired U.S. Army Colonel. After 26 years as an Army Ranger and 6 combat tours in the Middle East, my family and I needed to slow down and settle into the next chapter of our lives.  I wanted my second career to be something different, but equally challenging and rewarding. Liberty offered me the opportunity to join a team of professionals that deliver essential services, solve problems, innovate, and demonstrate genuine care for employees and our customers.  A perfect match! Since joining Liberty in February 2020, I have focused a lot of my time on work that helps our business achieve our sustainability goals.  I lead the East Region Sustainability Council and have several Renewable Natural Gas projects in the works.  I love my job, my Liberty teammates, and being part of Sustaining Energy and Water for Life.

  • Clint Cox US Army Colonel

I was a Lieutenant (LT) in the US Navy on nuclear submarines from 2005 – 2010. I started with Liberty in 2016. I enjoyed my time in the Navy.  I learned a lot about nuclear power and engineering while operating the deadliest war machine ever made.  I made a lot of good friends.  My most fond memory is surfacing the ship in the middle of the North Pacific, climbing up into the sail, and opening the hatches to see the entire night sky before me.  Another unforgettable experience was listening to Wu Tang Clan while working out on an exercise bike right next to a nuclear missile hundreds of feet deep in the ocean.

  • Peter Chivers US Navy Lieutenant 

I was in the Combat Engineer Reserves in 2000-2003. Started with Liberty in March 2020. I joined the Army as a Combat Engineer through a high school co-op program where I earned credits while completing basic training. After graduating I spent a summer in Gagetown, NB, completing my QL3 or basic field engineering training. Combat engineers are trained to ensure that troops can live, move, and fight on the battlefield. They also perform construction and maintenance tasks, operate vehicles and equipment in support of engineer operations, and maintain field installations and facilities. After returning from this course, I had an opportunity to start a Construction and Maintenance Electrician Apprenticeship which ultimately replaced the Army as my chosen career path.

  • John Kirby Combat Engineer

 July 18, 2021, I started my Army Reserve journey by leaving my home state of Arizona to go Fort Jackson South Carolina for 2 months to do Basic training, followed by 6 months of MOS training at Fort Gordon Georgia to earn the MOS of 25 Bravo. During my training I had the privilege of being taught how to become a soldier and learn my duties by the Drill Sergeants and NCOs that were at Fort Jackson and Fort Gordon. There is a handful of NCOs from my training and my current duty station that I look up to and strive to be. My Army journey at moments tested my limits, however with my battles and the NCOs I look up to, there are no limits to what can be done for this country that I love and call home. To all other branches and components, I support you and thank you for your service.
