Q+A
Why did you choose this career?
Growing up, various family members were in the construction industry and I grew to appreciate seeing raw land transform into an additive place for the community to gather. As I've grown in my career, I also enjoyed the opportunity to train younger engineers and grow project teams!
What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any interesting hobbies?
In my spare time I enjoy playing golf. I enjoy the challenge of the strategy and execution test it presents and is an outlet for my competitiveness. I'd love to go on a two-week Scotland/Ireland golf trip! Outside of golf, I enjoy spending time with my wife and growing family, cooking/BBQing, reading, and traveling.
Do you have a favorite holiday?
My favorite holiday is Christmas - closely followed by Thanksgiving. I enjoy the time spent with family and close friends. Its one of the few times a year when everyone is able to come together and relax.
What was your first job?
First job was a summer job on the maintenance crew of a baseball field complex. Mowed, dragged, and prepared fields for play!
