  • Kayaking, fishing, camping, motorcycling, traveling, and snow skiing. I enjoy being outdoors. I would like to see more surfing opportunities in Ohio. Could someone build a wave so we can surf in Ohio?
  • What advice would you give a new employee?
  • This is a great industry to be part of. You will love the fact that you built a building with your own hands and get to see it years after the project is completed.
