Avadian Employee Jason Guyton Named Sen. Tuberville’s Veteran of the Month for April

Birmingham, Ala. – Avadian Credit Union is delighted that U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville selected one of our employees, Jason Guyton, as April’s Veteran of the Month. Each month, Tuberville recognizes one of Alabama’s heroes for their service to our military and their communities.

In the statement announcing Guyton’s selection, Tuberville said, “After a successful wrestling career at Howard University – where he became the first freshman in school history to compete for a NCAA Division Championship – Jason decided to follow in his dad and granddad’s footsteps. But instead of joining the Navy, Jason enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Chemical Operations Specialist while also keeping his day job as an Operations Manager at West Corporation. During his time in the reserves, Jason was deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, where he ensured sites were safe from nuclear chemicals and biological threats.”

Guyton is a Member Experience Advocate at Avadian’s Huntsville branch and a wrestling ambassador, particularly to those in disadvantaged communities.

“Jason is a wonderful representative for Avadian,” said Linda Cencula, Avadian’s President and CEO. “We are very proud of him and are grateful for his service to our country and his efforts to make an impact in the lives of young people in his community.”

“I am honored and humbled to be selected by Sen. Tuberville as April’s Veteran of the Month,” Guyton said. “My family has a history of service, and it has become my mission in life to serve others: first in the Army Reserves and now through my work at Avadian as well as through wrestling.”
