What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What I enjoy most about being in my industry is seeing how infrastructure, like a bridge, gets built from the ground up. That's not really something you see every day.
When you drive by a construction site, you're just getting a snapshot of a year or two's worth of work. I think it's really cool to be there every day and see how things get built. That's my favorite part.
The industry as a whole, construction, is incredibly important to the future and was incredibly important in the past. It's neat to see how we got to where we are today in terms of everything.
You can design whatever you want, but you still have to be able to build it. That's where we come in. It's all about getting stuff actually done and building that right in front of your eyes. That's pretty special to me. That's what keeps me motivated and enjoying the work I do.
