What gets you out of bed in the morning?

The thrill of growing my business and building the brand.

What is a “myth” about construction that really bothers you?

“Construction is only for the uneducated.”

What are your favorite pieces of architecture in the United States?

  1. Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta
  2. NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida
  3. The Pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Do you have a motto?

“The grass is greener where you water it.”

iPhone or Android?

Android

What is the #1 way for construction leaders like you to stay ahead of the pack?

Stay hungry.

If you could have lunch with anyone, living or deceased, whom would you choose?

Evel Knievel. He was pioneer of integrated marketing campaigns. He converted viewers into customers and had people lined up to buy everything “Evel Knievel, ”from toys to posters to movies. Knievel helped pave the way for others such as Kiss, Dale Earnhardt and George Lucas. I would love to pick his brain and get some ideas.

What has been the most exciting moment of your year?

I have several episodes I have guest-hosted for “GardenSMART” on PBS, along with filming eight to10 more during spring and summer 2022.
