• Role: Risk Management
• What You Love About Construction: It’s the perfect intersection of getting to collaborate with and learn from a wide variety of people; being exposed to highly technical projects, systems and products; and working through complex business and leadership challenges.
• First Job: As a young-in, mowing lawns. My first tax-paying job was at a home improvement store doing maintenance work, cleaning restrooms, bagging goods and helping load customers’ cars.
• Desired Superpower: Being able to show unconditional love in all situations.
• Best Vacation Spot: I’m simple; the historical charm and vibrancy of Savannah, Georgia.
• Word to the Wise (advice): Smart people learn from their mistakes; wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
