Linthicum Corp

I consider myself blessed to be passionate about my work. In fact, what we do at Linthicum, is in no way to me, work in the conventional sense. I enjoy everyday and the challenges that must be overcome to build the architecture and design that we do.

I am also fortunate to have learned from my father at a very young age, the importance of hard work, sacrifice and sweat. As a boy, swinging a pick or a hammer, pushing a wheelbarrow or a broom in many ways, shaped my future. I think today, as adults, we are too quick to dismiss the importance and value to young people of laboring in the field. I know it has shaped our company and the men and women in it.

Our body of work represents some of the most recognized architecture in the Country. The design professionals we are fortunate to build for are undoubtedly, the best in the Country and some, in the World. Their work, whether contemporary or rustic, modern or traditional, commercial or residential, is nothing less than art. We are entrusted with its evolution from paper to place. As a builder, a tremendous honor and opportunity to rise to the top of our craft. And, to bring together artistry and science, to create lasting examples of design and craftsmanship.

This work, in many instances, is for individuals who have become the very best at what they do. They share a passion for creating a place that reflects their interests, taste and success. Leaders of business, accomplished artists and athletes, and professionals of all types, make up our resume. We also work for many of the finest developers, corporations and municipalities available to our industry.

Today, I am most excited about, and proud of, the hard working individuals who collectively make Linthicum the builder it is today. Without doubt, our company employs the best in our industry and without them we simply couldn't meet the tasks presented to us. I have been building for nearly twenty years. In that time, we have grown to serve three states; Arizona, California and Hawaii. I have lived in each of these wonderful places and today, spend equal time in all three. I have a wonderful wife and I am a very proud father of both a son and a daughter. I enjoy spending my time away from Linthicum, on and in the ocean with my family, off the Island of Kauai. I consider myself a lucky man and hope our clients and design professionals enjoy our work as much as we do!

I am one of those rare individuals that can be considered an Arizona native. I was born in Page, Arizona and lived in Colorado where I graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management.

I joined Linthicum in the spring of 1990 as a Project Engineer and in December moved to the Estimating Department. By April of 1995, I was promoted to Senior Project Estimator. In December of 1997, I assumed the role of Project Manager. After two years of management I was promoted to Operations Manager and in April of 2002, was made a Vice President. I am now an owner and partner in Linthicum and I am also the qualifying party for our Arizona contractor's licenses.

Today, I am responsible for the day to day operations of the company and oversee all preconstruction and estimating activities, contract administration, cost monitoring and cost control for Linthicum.

In addition to Arizona, our geographic diversity allows me to spend time in another location I love — the Hawaiian Islands.

As many people can attest I am a NASCAR racing nut and am a proud supporter of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Coyotes. My husband and I share 26 years of marriage and enjoy spoiling our nieces and nephews. We also love to travel, particularly to island destinations. Being in and around the water, checking out old lighthouses, sailing and whale-watching are just part of what we love about islands. Our island expeditions recently led to the purchase of a lot in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in the state of Washington where we plan to build our own vacation retreat to spend our summers in the future.

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I attended college on a baseball scholarship, graduating from the University of Denver with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting.

I started my career with Linthicum in the Spring of 2002. Prior to that, I spent more than four years in public accounting. I worked with Arthur Andersen and a small local accounting firm with clients ranging from construction to mining to hospitality to governmental.

My current responsibilities for Linthicum include overseeing financial reporting, insurance, bonding, banking, legal, human resources and various organizational risk management issues. I also assist in running and directing fundraising activities for Linthicum's Annual Charity Golf Tournament.

My personal hobbies include pretty much anything family and sporting activities. I continue to participate in golf, softball, baseball, football, reading, church activities and spending time with my family.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Heather, since 1998 and we have two wonderful young children, Jackson and Aly. Our children both currently attend Scottsdale Christian Academy.

As a native of rural Oklahoma, I developed a can do attitude and basic building skills in the footsteps of my very strong rancher father. After attending Oklahoma State University, I found a career in homebuilding. The climate and economy of Scottsdale drew my wife and I to the Valley of the Sun in 1993.

I joined Linthicum in 1997. As a Senior Project Manager, I had the opportunity to participate in the construction of custom residences located in the Scottsdale area. In 1999 and again in 2001, I was involved in the management of homes that won the prestigious Gold Nugget Award for the best custom home over 6,000 square feet. In addition to these custom residences, I was also responsible for the project management of the Mirabel Golf Clubhouse in Scottsdale, the community buildings at Talking Rock Ranch near Prescott, the Hideaway Golf Clubhouse and the La Quinta Country Club in La Quinta, California.

I am a third generation Montanan who has lived in Arizona for 40 years. That combination qualifies me as a Westerner who loves the outdoors. From the time I was in middle school, I appreciated design and prepared myself to be an architect. Upon acceptance to and graduation from the School of Architecture at Arizona State University, I have advanced through working for notable local architectural firms, owning my own architectural firm to becoming a Builder.

My experience includes over 30 years of experience managing all phases of preconstruction and construction of various building types. I am a registered architect and LEED Professional and feel those learned values serve me well in the business of constructing works of architecture. While at Linthicum, I have been blessed to project manage several projects that have been awarded the prestigious Gold Nugget Award including Desert Broom Library, Cesar Chavez Library, and the Eaton Residence. These projects serve as a solid foundation for my current responsibilities of managing preconstruction, business development and community relation activities, along with managing and supervising the construction of a Silverleaf Residence.

I served as Chairman of the City of Mesa Design Review Board and the Downtown Development Committee for many years. I currently serve on the Valley Forward Association Board of Directors/Executive Committee. My specific focus for the next two years is chairing the Water Issues Committee.

My wife Barbara and I have two children. Our daughter is attending St. Mary's College in California and our son is a recent graduate of Boston College and currently lives and works in Manhattan, NYC. Family activities continue to be a great source of pleasure as we observe our children becoming adults.

Born in Kansas, raised in Missouri, I moved to the Phoenix area in the spring of 1980. I joined the Army out of high school and upon my honorable discharge continued in the trade I grew to embrace — residential carpentry framing. I graduated from the Carpenter's Apprenticeship Program and went on to start my own business as a framing contractor.

Upon my arrival in Arizona, I continued in the carpentry trade performing both residential and commercial framing. After serving as a field superintendent for a large framing company for several years I turned my focus and passion to large custom homes. The uniqueness and challenges that these custom homes presented drove my interest and passion for building at the highest level.

I joined the Linthicum team in the fall of 1996 and quickly came to learn that the quality of product as well as the quality of business was what Linthicum was all about. I have had the honor of building some of the most architecturally striking and challenging custom homes while being a project superintendent for Linthicum.

I was promoted to Director of Field Operations. That position gave me the ability to be a part of so many diverse building scenarios and also challenged me to continue striving to accomplish our company goal of being the best we can be.

I have moved to the island of Kauai. It would be hard for me to say that I miss the 100+ degree temperatures of Phoenix, Arizona. Our projects in Hawaii, both unique and challenging, have again raised the bar in striving for excellence in the industry.

I love the outdoors and living on Kauai is just like living outdoors 24/7. Snorkeling, beach combing, and golf have become my new pastimes.
