“Always keep looking for opportunities. When you find them, be persistent in their development, and never be afraid to take a risk.”

“No shortcuts.”

“The Myth of Entrepreneurship is that it is working for yourself or being your own boss. The reality is that you work for your customers and they are the boss. To be successful, you need to focus on meeting a need or solving a problem. By doing that and creating value, you create entrepreneurial opportunity.”

“Integrity does not just mean telling the truth. In difficult situations, integrity forces positive creativity and determination to ethically succeed, thereby keeping your promises to your stakeholders.”

Innovation & Culture

“Our philosophy is focused on providing a quality product delivered on time and for the least amount of money. You treat everybody fairly, whether it’s the client, the designer, the employees, the subcontractors, material suppliers; it really is treating everyone the way you would want to be treated.”

“STAY READY, so you don’t have to GET READY.”

“Build your integrity by avoiding omissions or commissions. Total transparency is key.”

“My ‘best day’ is yet to come, because I look forward to the challenge of upcoming projects, always with the knowledge that there are solutions for everything. I look on tomorrow as the ‘best day’ opportunity.”

“You should not choose to be a common company. It’s your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take the calculated risk – to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed.”

“While it's the original, innovative ideas that make the headlines, most successful, new businesses come from simply doing it better or differently. And it's in the ‘doing it better or differently’ that takes experience, vision and commitment.”

“I know a little bit about leadership. And I can tell you the number one most fundamental element to leadership is to do it by example. It's indisputable.”

“Have the audacity to dream big and the discipline to pursue that dream with hard work. The payoff will be greater than you ever imagined.”

“Embrace your vision, then build your business by hiring talented, passionate people. Always do the right thing. Honesty and integrity are key qualities for a successful business, and have some fun along the way.”

“Believing is seeing.”

“Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity and innovation in the face of risk, ambiguity and uncertainty, which often results in an unconventional solution where the reward is the added value earned by the product of that pursuit.”

“Successful entrepreneurs must be flexible. No matter how much you plan, you will be confronted by something you did not anticipate. You will be tested early and often.”

“I like clean modern design with an element of interest.”

"Hope for Life."

“Good enough is never good enough.”

“Never stop learning. Gain an understanding of why things are what they are, but don't accept those limits as unmovable. Expand them and see where it may lead you. Those that follow will have a wider horizon to work within.”

“Having a passion for what you do is essential. When times are good, passion supplies the rocket fuel needed to bring your ideas to life. When times aren’t good, it keeps enough gas in the tank to get you through.”

“My business life has been one of negotiations on behalf of clients as well as for our own account. Most involve significant financial exposure. We approach every transaction with integrity and expect integrity in return. If we sense that integrity is not on the other side, we avoid the transaction. Integrity is the foundation of all of our business relationships.”
