What drew you to a career in construction?
Construction has always felt like a natural fit for me. As a kid, I was fascinated by building things — from blocks to Legos, then on to serious projects like forts and treehouses. I always enjoyed taking an idea and turning it into something real.
In high school, I started working for our family construction business and became eager to learn as much as I could about the trades and how each part of a project comes together. That experience helped me understand that with the right team and partners, you can create something truly remarkable.
Today, that same idea is what drives me: helping clients bring their vision to life.
What do you do in your free time?
Most of my free time is spent with my family. I’m a proud father of three — two daughters and a son — and I enjoy being involved in their activities and making memories together. I’m currently coaching a middle school and travel softball team. Coaching has become one of the most meaningful ways I stay connected to the community and help young athletes grow in confidence, discipline, teamwork, and leadership.
I also enjoy spending time outdoors and taking advantage of any opportunity to be outside. My son and I recently started learning to fly fish and have even tried making our own flies.
