Herb's Bio:

My favorite part of the job is knowing that we are bringing value to not only our employee-owners but also our customers. I also really enjoy the fact that, due to our employee ownership plan, I'm working for and serving our employee-owners.

We need to brush off the stigma that the construction industry is just some dead-end job when in actuality, it's not a dead-end job at all. It's one thing if you go to college and then work in construction, but there's a lot of stigma in our society associated with not going to college and working in construction.

In reality, there are ample opportunities in this industry — and you might even say equivalent opportunities — whether you go to college or not. There are so many opportunities for advancement, and we need to do a better job of highlighting that.

I like to spend my free time with my family — I'm married to Tristine and I have two adult children, James and Savannah, and a step-son, Colby. I love to be on the water. It doesn't need to be a big yacht or anything like that. Just get me in a boat on the water and I'm happy.
