"I jumped on to a speeding train, so to speak, and kind of ran with it."

"I manage everything, every aspect of a job site. Um, so that's personnel, that's, uh, paperwork and budget. Those are my big three."

"Every day is different. Uh, you know, it depends on the day of the week."

"Organization, problem-solving, and good knowledge of financials are probably the big three."

"The comradery amongst my team. Being on site with the guys, I really enjoy just because I like constructions."

"Managing expectations of the client with regards to budget, and managing people (including subcontractors) and their scopes of work."

"The feeling that you get when you accomplish a project and complete it. It's a pretty special feeling."

"Go-getters and driven individuals who aren't afraid to make decisions, negotiate, and have tough conversations."

"It's a lot of politics. It's a lot of managing of people's egos and expectations and there's a lot of tough questions that you are at the forefront of, both internally in a company and externally."

"you kind of start from the bottom and work your way up."

"Don't make emotional decisions. Always wait until you have all the information presented to you before you calculate a plan to make a decision."

"I did everything I could do to make myself feel different from the next person that was submitting for a job."
