Johnnie Allen

I became a Member in 2002 as well as started working with the BAC Local 13 Nevada in September of 2002. I was born & raised right here in Las Vegas. Living in Las Vegas has given me great opportunities to work for some fantastic companies in the Construction Industry on the Vender / Material Supplier side as well as the General Contractor and Sub Contractor side giving me approximately 11 years of experience in the Construction Industry prior to working here. I’d have say my favorite part about working in the Construction Industry is working with down to earth people.  The thing that I enjoy most about my job here at the BAC Mountain West ADC is the members.
