Positive Feedback for Stevens Center Team
Ti-Ara Toney from Little Diversified Architectural Consulting shared some heartwarming words about the Blum team stationed at the Stevens Center in downtown Winston-Salem.
"During this season of gratitude, I wanted to reach out and express my appreciation for all your hard work. As we all know, Stevens Center has been quite the challenge. I want to thank you for your patience, collaboration, and expertise as we’ve navigated this project. It’s been a huge learning opportunity for me as I start my career and I wouldn’t have the knowledge that I’ve gained so far without your team’s input."
Leading the charge on this project is Billy Gard, Senior Superintendent, and Joe Roemen, Senior Project Manager, with Ben Lawrence as Assistant Superintendent and Jacob Yonts as Field Engineer. Props to this team for being fantastic leaders amidst challenges and being a guiding light for our partners!
