He joined Midland Enterprises in 1992 as a tanker person and became part of Ingram Barge Company following its acquisition of Midland in 2002. O’Connor and his wife, Courtney, enjoy a vibrant family life with their children, Lenzi and Ian Householder, Austin O’Connor, Libby Cogdill, Brandon and Taylor O’Connor, and Addi Aters, and three grandchildren. His legacy continues as his son, Brandon, now serves as a pilot aboard the M/V Len O’Connor.
