What do you do in your free time?

I spend a lot of my free time being outdoors. I enjoy golfing, boating, mountain biking and riding four wheelers and snowmobiles. I also like watching college football and basketball.

Why did you choose the construction industry?

I like to say that the construction industry chose me and am grateful for all the opportunities and lifelong lessons it has taught me. My family had a construction business while I was growing up, and I’ve been swinging a hammer, working on, or managing a jobsite for as long as I can remember. I've always enjoyed putting the pieces of any project together and figuring out the best way to solve problems with a team.
