NEW HIRES!

Eric Horton joined Corporate Office in Mid-April 2018 as the Prefabrication Business Development and Sales Manager. Eric brings almost 30 years of work experience to Collins. His experience with small and large corporations throughout California has prepared him well for this new role. Eric and his wife Beth, who works for Manteca Unified School District live in Stockton. They have one 18-year old daughter who attends school in upstate New York. Eric enjoys vacationing in Pinecrest, snow skiing and working in his yard.

Please help me in welcoming Eric to the Collins Team!
