Construction is a dynamic industry. It is one of the only manufacturing processes not undertaken in a controlled environment. Successfully executing on a client’s vision within a definitive time frame, while factoring in ever-changing conditions and an orchestra of stakeholders, is definitely the most exciting challenge in our business. My professional passion is collaborating with bright, talented people who understand they need to work as a team in order to be successful. No one has ever climbed a mountain by themselves.

I started playing football early in life and was fortunate enough to play all the way through college. Football is a team sport in the truest sense. When you care deeply about your teammates, you practice very hard to do your job well. When you do your job well and so does everyone else: touchdown. Miss a block and usually someone gets hurt.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

Muhammad Ali. If you have seen the documentary “When We Were Kings”, you’ll know why. If you haven’t, you should watch it and you’ll want to have lunch with him too. He was afraid of George Foreman and through this fear an ingenious strategy was born; Ali endeared himself to an entire nation over the course of five weeks. Channeling that much energy through the power of personality and belief in your talents is truly amazing.
