"He embraces Servant Leadership and is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of construction industry professionals and tradespeople."

"Young construction leaders like Matt ensure that the future is bright for the business community and the industry," said 2023 national chair of the ABC Board of Directors Milton Graugnard, executive vice president, Cajun Industries LLC, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "Based on Matt's great dedication to his community, company, colleagues and the ABC TEXO Chapter, it is apparent that he places great importance on making the merit shop industry safer and more forward-thinking.

Additionally, Terry is actively engaged in advocacy efforts and promotes the ABC merit shop philosophy.

"Recruiting and developing new leaders within our industry is the biggest professional achievement in my career," said Terry. "Over the past 15 years at TDIndustries, I have had the chance to lead various aspects of our construction business in North Texas. Many people have poured into me and I have had the opportunity to do the same to others. Now, I look around and see these leaders bettering the communities in which we work. This brings meaning and purpose to my career. We have worked on amazing projects, such as hospitals and entertainment venues, and these environments make our communities thrive. When TD positively impacts others, our customers and industry partners receive excellent work and value."
