What is the most exciting thing about working in this business? What is your professional passion?

Construction is a dynamic industry. It is one of the only manufacturing processes not undertaken in a controlled environment. Successfully executing on a client鈥檚 vision within a definitive time frame, while factoring in ever-changing conditions and an orchestra of stakeholders, is definitely the most exciting challenge in our business. My professional passion is collaborating with bright, talented people who understand they need to work as a team in order to be successful. No one has ever climbed a mountain by themselves.

What sport did you play and how did it help you professionally?

I started playing football early in life and was fortunate enough to play all the way through college. Football is a team sport in the truest sense. When you care deeply about your teammates, you practice very hard to do your job well. When you do your job well and so does everyone else: touchdown. Miss a block and usually someone gets hurt.

What is your favorite quote?

鈥淒iscipline is the impossible conquered by the obstinate repetition of the possible.鈥 - Fr茅d茅ric Gros

What book has helped you most in your career?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

If you could have lunch with someone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Muhammad Ali. If you have seen the documentary 鈥淲hen We Were Kings鈥, you鈥檒l know why. If you haven鈥檛, you should watch it and you鈥檒l want to have lunch with him too. He was afraid of George Foreman and through this fear an ingenious strategy was born; Ali endeared himself to an entire nation over the course of five weeks. Channeling that much energy through the power of personality and belief in your talents is truly amazing.
