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.
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.
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.
My passion is definitely Golf, but I love live music, hiking, skiing, & traveling.
HBW is a great place if you are looking for a solid work/life balance. The leadership team here is fair and understanding of people’s time/personal responsibilities.

Creating meaningful, lasting relationships with clients. Being a “connector” and making introductions for industry peers. Being from MD, I love to work for a company that is helping grow and shape the area.
To me, the best thing about working at HBW are the people and the culture.
It’s tough to pick a favorite project! Every project offers it’s unique challenges and opportunities to learn and grow but what truly excites me is being involved throughout the entire construction process. From initial concept to final build, seeing a project come to life while exceeding the clients expectations is always rewarding.
I’m a big football fan! I love watching my team, The Cowboys, AND playing. I’m starting to enjoy golf, and am starting to practice more.
I started with HBW in 2019 with no experience in the construction industry, but I wanted to learn, stand out, and be the best Business Development Representative. HBW took me under their wing, and everyone was willing to help me learn. I can now read and understand plans and create preliminary budgets. The support and leadership at HBW is unparalleled
