The growth I have been able to achieve both personally and professionally. Professionally growing my career from a labor to a superintendent has been exciting and challenging.

Personally, the growth of my career has shown my son what people are capable of if they work hard and have good ethics, morals, and integrity. I enjoy being a good role model for him and watching him grow up.

Hobbies/What you do for fun:
I enjoy working, and I really enjoy playing (work hard – play hard)! Any opportunity I have, I love being on the water with friends and family. I enjoy exposing our kids to the coastal lifestyle, and teaching them about sea life and how to fish. I love college football and attending Gator games whenever I get the chance. The weekends are for rejuvenating the mind, body and soul. No better way to do that than by spending time with my wife and our kids, our friends, and enjoying our time together as much as possible!

For the relationships we have built with the local community and within our industry.
