  • What’s your construction specialty? 
    Hospitality, Higher Education, and Senior Living

  • What attracted you to the construction industry? 
    As a kid I always enjoyed construction and most of my toys involved building (Legos and Lincoln Logs) so I knew what I wanted to do.  However, originally I thought architects were the ones that actually built the buildings. Once I learned it was general contractors I never looked back!

  • What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on? 
    My most memorable project would have to be the Coca Cola Atlanta Syrup Plant Expansion.  It was a 50 million dollar, 3-phase project (Package, Syrup, and Mass storage) with pretty much every type of construction component you could think of.  It was also done in secret under heavy security because of a new technology they were rolling out. 

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?  
    Make sure you enjoy communication, collaboration, and new challenges throughout your career!

  • Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself! 
    I’m a husband to an amazing wife, Sara, and a dog dad to two great pups, Crush and Sugarbaby.

  • What’s your construction specialty?
    Coordination and inspiring a team-centric atmosphere.

    The idea of turning nothing into something and changing peoples’ lives through building and/or renovating - whether it be their work or home life.

  • What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
    The Department of Corrections inmate wing at Atlanta Medical Center.

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
    Learn a trade and master it!

  • Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
    My favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing - particularly bow hunting!

Higher Education is one of our specialties!

We love the challenge a complex renovation brings! Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, Emory University, and Georgia Tech are just a few of our Higher Education clients.

  • What’s your construction specialty?
    Complex renovations - renovations are full of unknowns and challenges that create a much more exciting team dynamic than often found in ground-up construction!

  • What attracted you to the construction industry?
    At one point in my life, I was an art major and I had a love for architecture so it seemed natural to take these two passions and go build something. I discovered building construction and the rest is history!

  • What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
    I was on a complex school renovation that involved deconstructing the structure by cutting the spine out of the building and inserting a raised pop-up curtain wall structure in its place to flood the building with natural light. The existing pieces of the building that remained were structurally held in place by installing exposed post tension cables through the existing beams. The building was recognized for its innovative design and won Honor Awards from the Georgia chapter of the American Institute of Architects and South Atlantic Region, AIA - it was also featured in the movie “The Hate You Give!"

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
    If you are looking for a job that provides routine and repetition, this is not your gig. If you thrive with change, love a good challenge, and enjoy problem-solving - jump in, expect to work hard, and you won’t be disappointed!

  • Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
    I used to teach elementary school art K-5.
