Carson is eager to learn, take on new challenges, and absorb as much experience as possible. His favorite quote, from Wayne Gretzky, reflects that mindset: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Outside of work, David enjoys staying active through sports, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. His favorite quote, from Richard Proenneke, reflects his adventurous mindset: "There is always a sadness about packing, I guess you wonder if where you're going is as good as where you've been."
Meet Conner –
Conner is a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville majoring in Construction Management, with minors in Business Administration and Construction Safety Management. After job shadowing a family friend in the industry, he discovered a passion for construction and decided to pursue it as a career.
