Tell us about your favorite KAPBCS moment.

I witness KAPBCS moments every day as the builders in this company go about their business. I have been extremely lucky in that I am surrounded by people who go above and beyond to make their projects better for our clients and communities.

Tell us about your favorite Sundt project.

Having been here nearly 30 years, it is hard to pick just one —there are 13 fantastic projects we’ve built with the University of Arizona alone. TheBanner University Medical Center Tower was a highlight, as it represented the regional trauma center which provides vital services to my community. Executing two projects for Habitat for Humanity was fulfilling to everyone involved.
When my kids were younger, I spent a ton of time at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and the Children’s Museum of Tucson. Getting a chance to work on projects for organizations that meant so much to my family will always hold a special place in my heart.
Since my kids have moved on (one in college and the other working in Washington, DC), that answer is simple: Wherever they are. I miss them both immensely, and I value any time I can spend with them these days.
