Tell us about your favorite Sundt project.

My favorite is probably the Airmore Hangar One project in Scottsdale, Arizona. I started the project as a field engineer doing layout but quickly developed a rapport with the client’s architect. Because of my knowledge of building materials, constructability methods, and ability to design in AutoCAD, I was able to influence the final design of the project. When the design was finalized, I was promoted to superintendent and was able to execute the construction of a design I had helped to complete. It really was a defining moment of my career.

Share a couple of your favorite hobbies.

I have many hobbies that bring joy to my world such as riding motorcycles, traveling, watching the Seattle Seahawks with my family, etc. But most of all I love designing stuff. Mostly furniture, but really anything, whether from scratch or making improvements to existing items. I love the critical thought, the engineering behind it, the methodical execution and the reaction of others when it’s complete. It’s a really fulfilling process for me.
