Human Interest Story: Cincinnati Woman Named Executive Director, Williston Area Builders Association

The Dickinson Press is reporting:

On Thursday, the 28-year-old from Cincinnati was named executive director of the Williston Area Builders Association.

A day later she was already helping run the Williston Home Show.

Taylor, who moved to North Dakota in December with her fiancé, Jeremy Tankersley, said living in Williston is giving them a chance to be more prosperous.

“There’s so much opportunity for us here,” Taylor said.

Tankersley, a welder, owned a shop in Cincinnati but work there had slowed. After hearing from many people about opportunities for welders in North Dakota, the couple did some research and decided to make the move.

Tankersley, 25, works 60 or more hours a week as a welder for B&G Roustabout.

Go to the link; there is much more to the story, including the challenging living conditions, but something tells me, as executive director of the Bakken area builders association, she and her husband will find a new home.
