His area of specialty is electric power generating facilities, and he has had major roles in the construction of six new generating stations in four states. He also has managed or had major roles in over 50 plant automation and pollution control upgrade projects, for plants serving the electric grid in 15 states and the northern third of Chile.

 

Volunteering has been part of Mr. Haun’s life as well. He has served in roles varied from church leadership positions to basketball coach. As part of a church mission program, Andy led the technical and construction aspects of the siting, procurement, transport, construction, and on-going maintenance for two purified water systems for communities in southern Mexico. The systems provide clean drinking water for 300-700 persons, living in locations with ineffective water treatment, who otherwise could not afford the cost of bottled water. This effort included nine trips to the states of Chiapas and Tabasco over a ten-year period.
