2. Where did you grow up?
Kansas, IL
3. Your proudest moment? Or Your most embarrassing moment? Or happiest moment? (choose one)
becoming a dad (x3)
4. Pet?
A blue pit mix named Axel, and a Maine Coon cat named Ranch.
5. If someone made a movie about your life, which actor would you want to play you and why?
Matt Damon, hands down. Just like his movies, I’m all about variety: a little action, a love for travel, a touch of suspense, and a strong focus on family. Plus, if he can survive Mars and a Bourne identity crisis, I trust him to handle my daily chaos with style.
6. Favorite season or holiday and why?
Fall: I enjoy driving around scenic routes looking at the changing colors of the leaves and sitting around a campfire with family and friends (…and making smores for the kids of course!)
7. If you had to leave the construction industry entirely and could walk into any other job no questions asked, what would it be?
Own and operate a hunting and fishing camp.
8. Who was your hero growing up?
My grandfather
9. What is something you’re afraid of?
Failure, or letting people down.
10. What is the title of your biography?
Here we go again….
11. If you could have dinner with any celebrity, who would it be?
Adam Sandler…. low key dining, with good laughs.
12. Fill in the blank. I think it would be really cool if O’Shea Builders __________.
…had all you can eat ice cream.
13. Which construction project are you the most proud to have been or be a part of?
Mid-Jordan LRT Expansion: This is the project where I started my professional career, gained unforgettable knowledge, built life-long relationships, and provided opportunities for people in remote suburbs to connect using reliable transportation.
14. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Time control, so I could relive cherished moments in time.
15. If you were ever in police beat, what would it be for?
For passive-aggressively returning other people’s shopping carts while making intense eye contact.
16. Who was your first crush?
Jennifer Aniston
17. If you had to choose between swimming with sharks, skydiving, and bungee jumping, which would you choose and why?
Skydiving, because if I’m going to scream uncontrollably and question all my life choices, I’d rather do it with a parachute and a view!
18. Favorite Disney character?
Goofy
