The most exciting part is collaborating with my teammates on bid day. All of the work the team has done to ensure that our proposal is a winning one comes together leading up to submission and receiving that award email is icing on the cake.

What do you like best about working at HBW?

It’s often mentioned, but I believe it remains true: the people are what I appreciate most about working at HBW. There’s a familial atmosphere here that’s rare in most workplaces. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help whenever a challenge arises.

What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on so far?

Busboys & Poets – Columbia. This project was the first Restaurant that I worked on, and the bidding process was a new challenge. There was a great amount of detail put into the finishes, lighting, and structural elements within the job that made bidding it so much fun. Working with the project team that built it throughout the life of the project and seeing the finished product at the end was very rewarding.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

My passion is definitely Golf, but I love live music, hiking, skiing, & traveling.
