What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I’m incredibly proud of building Castle Island Brewery in South Boston. Located in the historic former Cole Hersee manufacturing facility, the 9,500 s/f brewery features a tasting room adorned with a custom mural and focal wall, retail area, and private event space. Our collaboration with the ownership team and design team resulted in a unique and vibrant final product. It has been very rewarding to create a lively space that brings the Boston community together over delicious food and drink.
