  • What would you tell someone interested in joining the construction industry?
  • Every person you work with and come by will teach you differently. Gather what you learn from each person, and make a toolbox that will lead you to success.

  • Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself.
  • I have a masters in professional counseling and an undergrad in pre-law. I choose the union because it’s what makes me the happiest and I enjoy the work most.
