Nichols selected as area maintenance supervisor

---

Robin Nichols has been selected as an area maintenance supervisor with the Wyoming Department of Transportation in Basin.

Nichols, 56, will supervise the Cody, Meeteetse, Lovell and Basin maintenance efforts.

"Robin has valuable WyDOT experience and his time spent working on local and district-wide maintenance efforts will be assets in the field," said Ron Huff, WyDOT district maintenance engineer in Basin. "He's very ambitious, and we're very pleased he'll be coordinating our regional maintenance efforts."

Nichols replaces Rick Ebersberger of Powell, who retired earlier this year. Nichols officially begins his new duties June 1; he'll work out of the Basin office.

Since 1996, Nichols has worked in a handful of WyDOT positions, including heavy equipment operator, maintenance crew foreman, chip seal foreman and maintenance staff technician. He also worked for WyDOT in the winter of 1978-79 as a nighttime snowplow operator in Dubois.

He has previous work experience with Cowboy Timber Treating, Crowe Logging in Saratoga, Wilson Fencing in Dubois, and the U.S. Peace Corps in Jamaica.

Nichols is a 1976 (biology) and 1977 (physical education) graduate of the University of Wyoming.
