I am the CIO and co-owner of Cureton Industries. As a geoscientist, educator, and strategic communication/information officer, I am excited to represent the Mississippi division of our company. Our mobile crushing division serves roadbuilding and commercial development to reduce concrete waste in landfills and costs in construction. Our sand & gravel business provides raw material supply and services for infrastructure development with a bagged line of rocks for distribution to retail stores and landscaping companies. In addition, Cureton Design Studio launched to create avenues for natural rocks to be featured in retail stores for home decor, interior design, and outdoor living.
