Who, living or dead, would you like to eat dinner with the most? And why?

My mother.  I am sure she would love to hear all about my life, and where it has led me, since she has been gone.

How did you get into construction?

From my first set of Legos I fell in love with the idea of building something out of nothing.  As I grew older, I just needed to find an outlet, so I landed on engineering.  As I started my career in the field as a field engineer, I decided that a life behind a desk was not for me, continuing down the path as a Construction Manager made the most sense and I have been here ever since.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I took a 2-week vacation to hike a 50 mile stretch of the Inca Trail leading to Machu Picchu in Peru with 2 of my friends and a guide.  I became violently ill on the first day before we set off and instead of heading back to town I spent the next 7 days eating only bread and butter, battling a stomach bug and ultimately altitude sickness, all while seeing some of the most beautiful sites in the world.  10/10 would recommend, sick or not it’s one of the best trips of my life.
