I was led to the construction industry when I was finishing up my college degree, very eager and competitive. I started working for one of the largest companies in the U.S., where travel and relocation was imminent. I made an early career move with a large general contractor which rooted me in St. Louis. As I continued to develop as both a construction manager and community leader, I began forming a real aspiration to make an impact influencing others in a positive way through leadership and strategic business planning. After a couple years of observing market and industry trends, I fell in love with the company I’m with today because of its rich history and compelling company culture. In 2010, I made the move and a commitment to the specialty contracting industry with IWR and haven’t looked back. My regimented work ethic was developed at a very young age as I worked both at my father’s electrical company and farm. These early years molded the inner workings of my professional career and instilled habits that I carry through my daily life today.
