In the last 12 months what accomplishment are you most proud of? I am most proud of being entirely self-taught, despite having no formal education or background in business – only in construction. Sixteen years ago, I began my journey as an hourly worker, often putting in 60-hour weeks, working both days and nights. Throughout my career, I have consistently strived for excellence in every job I undertake.

How do you balance your rising career with your personal life? I am fortunate to have a supportive family who backs my career in every way. My wife and three children adore and look up to me. I work hard to provide them with the best life possible, whether it’s coaching basketball games on Monday nights after work or attending dance practices with my daughters. On weekends, I cherish the time we spend together as a family.

Who are the key people in your life that have contributed to your success? Firstly, I’d like to thank Groom Construction for the opportunities and advancement within the company. I am grateful to my mentors in the construction field, particularly my uncle and stepdad, for their positive influence. A special thanks to Scott Faulkner and Ed Camara for believing in me, and to the Groom employees for their support. Lastly, I thank my wife and family for their unwavering support, helping me reach where I am today.
