Leadership is about creating psychological safety. When teammates feel empowered to innovate, we deliver results that go far beyond expectations.
Vision in action
At Mortenson, leadership means inspiring teams to push boundaries and continuously grow together. What sets our leadership apart is the creation of psychological safety, empowering teammates and projects to innovate, explore creative solutions, and deliver results that go far beyond expectations. Balancing a big picture vision with attention to critical details is key to achieving these outcomes for our customers.
Redefining preconstruction
We are redefining how Lean Construction is applied in preconstruction, driving target value delivery and seamless integration of design and construction. By creating greater certainty earlier in the process, we give customers the clarity to make confident decisions and maximize the value of their investment. Through active listening, clear communication, and a tailored approach, we eliminate waste and reinvest in what matters most to each unique project and customer.
Stronger together
Every project begins with open communication and a shared commitment to a project-first mentality. By pushing collaboration beyond past experiences, we prioritize the needs of the project above our own. We believe the strongest customer relationships are built on transparency—playing with our cards face up to eliminate waste, empower decision-making, and foster trust. At the core, doing the right thing allows us to create meaningful, personal relationships that last.
PERSONAL PASSIONS
The health and safety of Milwaukee is deeply important to me because this city has always been home. I grew up here, went to school here, started my family here, worship here and work here. My favorite volunteer experiences are those that allow me to help build Milwaukee, combining my greatest passions. Whether serving on my Downtown Milwaukee church’s building committee or volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, I find joy in rebuilding, restoring, and preserving the communities that make Milwaukee special.
