Our MVP recognition program is all about celebrating the team members who go above and beyond to make a meaningful impact across O’Shea Builders. Please join us in congratulating Luke!

Luke brings passion, leadership, and positivity to everything he does. He is a great carpenter who takes pride in doing things the correct way while still making work enjoyable for everyone around him. As a Carpenter Foreman, he shows excellence in leading new additions to the O’Shea team while managing the many tasks and unknowns that come up throughout the day.

Anyone who knows Luke knows he is a master joke teller. He brings energy and laughter to every job site, always sharing jokes with coworkers, nurses, staff, and anyone else willing to listen. His fun and charismatic personality helps to make coming to work every day the best. While Luke brings great energy to the team, it never takes away from the exceptional craftsmanship he contributes to every build. He gets to work early, stays late, and consistently gives 100% effort and attention to detail in his craft.

His passion, dedication, personality, and craftsmanship all play a huge role in creating the exceptional construction experience that O’Shea is known for.

Thank you, Luke, for the impact you make every day!
