What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of my job is getting out of the office, putting on my boots and hardhat, and visiting job sites to see designs come to life. This is where I get to learn the most about projects and how drawings translate into real construction.

Who are you outside of Gale?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. My hobbies include cooking, snowboarding, and playing softball. I’m currently focused on goals like staying consistent with working out and reading more.
