Anchor Lutheran School Project

Can you share a project you are particularly proud of or what has been your biggest achievement in your career so far?

I would say the project that I am the proudest of would have to be the Anchor Lutheran School that was just completed. This was one the most challenging projects I have been part of. Adding a 2^nd floor onto an occupied space while mitigating weather and safety concerns for the students, kept myself and crew on our toes.

My biggest achievement so far in my career is probably providing the life my career allows my family to live. Also, it’s always nice to see the customers face at the end of a project.
