Celebrating Rick Coulson as the May 2025 Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Rick Coulson, HVAC Tech III, for being recognized as the May 2025 Employee of the Month! Coulson was nominated by Ronnie Wells, Zone 2 Manager, and Wallace Riegel III, Zone 2 Supervisor. 

Coulson played a critical role in resolving a persistent temperature issue at the Potomac Science Center located in Woodbridge, VA. Despite facing multiple challenges, Coulson’s commitment to excellence, diligence, and solution-focused thinking led to the identification and repair of a malfunctioned chilled water actuator.

In addition to fixing the immediate issue, his work has also helped ensure the long-term reliability and efficiency of our HVAC systems. “Rick’s dedication, professionalism, and technical skill make him highly deserving of this recognition.” Said Wells. "I am pleased to submit this nomination in appreciation of his outstanding contributions."

Coulson is also an incredible team player by supporting his team members whenever possible. "He has a great attitude all the time, and he is always willing to help anyone that needs his help," Said Riegel, "he is always willing and ready to teach others in any way he can."
