Juan is a 40-year veteran, having worked for some of the most respected and longstanding general contractors in Colorado. He has had a major impact on the Colorado skyline and has been part of many iconic projects around Colorado. Not only is Juan a great superintendent and builder, but he is also a true mentor and teacher to the entire project team and the next generation of construction workers. In his current role, he is on-site 100% of the time to oversee projects he is assigned to, communicate project priorities to trade contractors, keeps the schedule on track, and oversees quality of installation and workmanship.

Why did you choose the construction industry?

Growing up, my dad was a general foreman in the construction industry. I was enamored with high-rise concrete construction and always wanted to work with him. I went to public schools in Denver, and after graduating from high school joined the carpenters union to complete a 4-year apprenticeship. Soon after I started taking night classes at Metro State to further my education and work towards becoming a superintendent. I've loved it since, and now I even get to work with my son!

What do you do in your free time?

I love to go fishing in the Rocky Mountains with my family. I also enjoy watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.
