Mr. Etter has worked as the deputy director of human resources, safety and risk management for the City of Saint Cloud in Saint Cloud, Florida, since 2016.

He was also a safety administrator and assistant risk manger for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority from 1998 to 2002 and a senior risk control consultant for Crawford & Company from 1991 until 1998. During the length of his career, Mr. Etter also had the opportunity to work overseas in the Middle East, where he was instrumental in his company being recognized with the best safety record during his four-year stay.

Such attributes have helped him build authentic and fruitful relationships with other employees and a flourishing workplace culture. When he began working for the City of Saint Cloud, it notably had a 1.75 experience rating and, after developing and implementing several programs, the number was reduced to .66 in just five years, which saved the city approximately $3 million.
