Samson has hired and trained IT and virtual design construction teams across multiple offices and states that continue to push the innovation that sets MAPP apart. Over the last four years, he has successfully led the implementation of many new field technologies, including robotic total stations for self-perform layout and quality control, a robust drone program, and a 360-camera platform called OpenSpace. In 2023, he led a team that built a completely custom integration between MAPP’s project management system and accounting system. Samson also provides professional mentorship to LSU’s construction management program and free/low-cost IT consulting/services to the elderly.
Personal motto:
“I believe in empowering people, at work and at home, to be the best versions of themselves.”
On my bucket list:
To see a Premier League soccer game in Europe.
Proud professional moment:
One of my team members showed me a post on LinkedIn stating five qualities of a good boss. He told me when he saw this it made him thankful to be working with me because I exhibited all of the qualities mentioned. It warmed my heart to know he felt I was supporting him in meaningful ways.
