ROLE

Estimator for the Calgary office.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

The smaller office atmosphere is a great mix of different people. I love the variety and diversity of experience across the team. It helps to keep everything fresh. I find the atmosphere at Scott Builders is lot more relaxed, making it very enjoyable coming to work. Our office has a great group of people working here, they are very knowledgeable, and everyone is willing to help.

WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

My dad had his own construction company, and I was always helping in any way I could. I went to university after high school and found I kept going back to construction. After several years in the industry, I went back to college in my early 30s to support my career as an estimator. I love the industry. There is always something different to work with. There is never a dull moment, and I enjoy the new challenges or outlooks encountered regularly.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

When I am not working, you can find me on the golf course, spending time with friends and family, and travelling with my wife.

SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

Definitely, my parents. They have always been there for me. They instilled a great work ethic and taught me that hard work pays off.

WORDS YOU LIVE BY: (FAVOURITE QUOTE OR LIFE PHILOSOPHY)

“You don’t lose if you get knocked down, you lose if you stay down.” I’ve learned over my life and career that there are lots of ups and downs. I believe that no matter what comes your way, it’s important to keep going and moving forward, nothing is permanent.
