How many years have you worked in the industry?
8 Years
What attracted you to the construction industry and what do you enjoy most about your job?
What attracted me to the construction industry was the opportunity to build roadway and bridge projects to improve our infrastructure. I enjoy working with a group of people to complete projects. Teamwork is key in the construction industry.
What do you feel can be done to attract more minorities to the construction industry?
I believe doing high school and college career fairs will encourage more minorities to the construction industry. If we can introduce the younger generation of future workers to union trades career or construction management programs through college. This could help make it more appealing for younger people to join the construction industry.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I enjoy riding motorcycles, working on cars, and attending motorsports events.
