O'Shea Team Spotlight: Dillon Fickas
Q. Where did you grow up?
A. Petersburg, Ill.
Q. Favorite season or holiday and why?
A. My favorite season is the fall and my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the fall because of the cooler weather, and Christmas is my mom's birthday, so it has always been a big deal in our life.
Q. Your proudest moment?
A. I would say my proudest moment would be becoming a father to my two girls and another is one on the way.
Q. Which construction project are you the most proud to have been, or be, a part of?

Q. If you had to leave the construction industry entirely and could walk into any other job no questions asked, what would it be?
A. I think it would be fun to own a BBQ shack in a small town on Lake Michigan.
Q. If someone made a movie about your life, which actor would you want to play you and why?
A. Probably Ryan Reynolds because he is tall, good looking, and funny, like myself!
Q. Who was your hero growing up?

A. Not being able to see my daughters grow up is probably my biggest fear.

Q. Who was your first crush?
A. Britney Spears.
Q. If you had to choose between swimming with sharks, skydiving, and bungee jumping, which would you choose and why?
