Why did you decide on Sundt for your summer internship? I had heard from a several people that it was a great company to work for, and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) really interested me also.
What does a typical day look like for you? I find bid information from different jobs and put it into a spreadsheet that will give estimators and reviewers a reference for what a similar job cost in the past.
What’s your favorite type of cuisine? I am a big fan of classic American food: steak and potatoes.
What is a book you have read recently? “The Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara. It’s a fantastic historical novel about the battle of Gettysburg. It was written using the letters and communications of people who were actually there.
Favorite quote/inspirational saying? “We’re burnin’ daylight.” – John Wayne
What do you like to do in your free time? I like to hang out with my wife. She’s pretty awesome. Also, I like to go off-roading/shooting.
