Who, living or dead, would you like to eat dinner with the most? And why?
My grandfather. He retired the year I was born, so he and I were always spending time together. I just want to be able to see his smile again and be able to enjoy a glass of homemade wine with him.

What is your favorite project you worked on and why?
John Hancock at 200 Berkeley. This was the first time I worked in the iconic building and was amazed by the history. The building engineers showed me through the underground tunnels, the control center that used to control the beacon on top of the building, and much more. Additionally, the construction team had a great dynamic that understood the extreme schedule.

How did you get into construction?
I got into construction through my dad. He has always been an influential person, and when it comes to construction, he explained to me it is best to invest in the property you own, as it will appreciate in value. I spent a lot of time renovating my parent’s apartments and learned from my dad the value that hard work pays off.

What is one thing on your bucket list and will you accomplish it?
Travel to Italy and Portugal with my wife and kids. We want them to meet their extended family and experience the places and landmarks that our family enjoyed.
