“My major accomplishments? Honestly, when we win projects. Each time we bid a job, there’s a lot of time and effort put into the estimate. And when we get to build and see in real life the things we had planned on paper, it’s very exciting. I’ve had the opportunity to bid a variety of jobs including, dams, bridges, train tracks, and airports. To me it is very gratifying to see how we build and improve the world around us.”
