I love the idea of working with customers to create unique buildings that match their idea and meets their needs. I previously have done something very similar but on a smaller scale. Before coming to CSU, I have been able to work as a carpenter's hand while attending community college and although I enjoy residential construction, commercial construction is especially interesting to me not only because of how it takes place on a larger scale, but how every type of building comes with a unique set of challenges. For me, I believe that your work should speak for your reputation and that having a good reputation is the key to success in any business, an ideal I am happy to see I share with Hensel Phelps. I believe in building strong, lasting relationships with clients as I believe this has a positive impact on the business as well as a positive one for the community.
