When did you decide this was definitely the industry for you?

I grew up working with my Grandpa on lots of projects around his house. I liked building things from the ground up and knowing I had a hand in how it came together. It's really rewarding to see the end result. The construction industry has many challenges that arise from day-to-day, every day is different and I like the variety.

Who is your favorite singer?

On a daily basis, Pat sets the tone on site to keep people safe and respond quickly and positively to subcontractors. He takes personal responsibility for all that goes on and demonstrates the values that O‑A‑K would be proud of.
