The measure of success changes throughout your life. I started out needing to move up the ladder to be a Foreman, then a Superintendent, and at home you want to buy a house and save some money for the family’s future. Those things are important, and today I still work like I am in competition for my job every day, but now I try to help others succeed, like my son, the young carpenters, and our project engineers.”
Q&A
My dad. I never realized how much he did for me and taught me until I became a dad. He was always patient, let me make mistakes, and offered advice when I needed it. He was awesome.
The speed, the people, the planning. It’s exciting to make a plan and execute it with all the different personalities and daily challenges. Also seeing the client satisfaction at the end of the project.
I’m not sure I would call it a dream vacation, but I would like to drive across the U.S. with the family to show them all the cool things: Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, the biggest ball of string…
Racing and family… My son races go-karts, and we travel as a family throughout California and Nevada.
Patience. This took many years and a lot of hard lessons, but I finally got it.
A ‘56 Chevy my Grandpa gave me when I was 16.
Christmas tree hunting. Mom and I used to go to the Santa Cruz mountains and cut our tree. She would have me put a hat or coat or something on a tree when she found one she liked—sometimes there would be eight or nine trees with clothes on them. We would then go back and revisit them to choose.
