Upon graduation he joined the US Department of Commerce, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1969. Mr. Sikes rose to the rank of Lieutenant (03) in the Officer Corps of NOAA during his four year term. Mr. Sikes recognized an opportunity to start his own business shortly after earning his professional engineering registration.

In 1977, Mr. Sikes started Andrew Lonnie Sikes, Inc.
