Tell us about your favorite Sundt project.
When I first joined the company, I was fascinated to learn about Sundt’s involvement in the construction of Launch Pad 39A. The Apollo missions were a pivotal moment in human history and the fact that Sundt played a role in making those missions a success is a great accomplishment.
Why did you choose to work in the construction industry?
As a third-generation member of the construction industry, I grew up around projects and was always impressed by the lasting impact that this industry has in advancing our society. The construction industry has provided me with many great opportunities to work in a number of different locations, pursuing a wide variety of projects, and in many cases, explore innovative new procurement models.
