Wing SNCO selected as national finalist for home repair contest Published Jan. 23, 2011 507th Air Refueling Wing TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Oklahoma -- Wing SNCO selected as national finalist for home repair contest A senior noncommissioned officer was selected as a finalist for a national nonprofit home improvement organization's contest. Senior Master Sgt. David Liszeski, the career assistance advisor with the 507th Mission Support Group, was named one of five finalists in the 2010 Tradesperson of the Year competition, sponsored by Rebuilding Together. "It was an honor to be nominated," said Liszeski. "My mom's proud, too." As a national finalist, Liszeski won $2,500 worth of products and tools courtesy of Sears Blue Tool Crew and WD-40. Liszeski also said his nomination was good for community outreach, and that his business got good publicity in a local newspaper. Liszeski, a plumber by trade, has volunteered with Rebuilding Together since 2006. Most recently, Liszeski led a nine-person project to renovate the home of three local residents whose home was barely habitable. The expertise and effort Liszeski and his team put forward greatly improved the quality of life for the family, especially installing a water heater to give the family's home hot water for the first time since 2004.
