Leadership the Mortenson Way

I’ve found that leadership isn’t just about titles; it’s about the diversity of backgrounds and experiences that shape how we build and how we connect. I see our leadership as a reflection of the people we serve and the projects we take on. For me, great leadership means showing up with engagement, support, and accountability at every level. That’s how we build trust and drive results.

 

Building Better, Smarter, Together

Innovation is part of our DNA. We’re constantly pushing ourselves to find better ways to do things—whether that’s through new materials, improved processes, or fresh approaches. I believe that the spirit of curiosity is what sets us apart. Our teams are not afraid to try something new, and we have specialized in-house expertise o drive those ideas to reality. What makes the experience exceptional for our customers is our transparency and our ability to adapt to different project needs. Every project has a purpose, and we aim to meet each customer where they are—whether they build often, or it’s their first and only project.

Grounded in Doing the Right Thing 

Our culture at Mortenson is the foundation for everything we do. It guides how we interact, how we make decisions, and how we show up for each other and our customers. Doing the right thing isn’t just a phrase—it’s how we operate with transparency and confidence, knowing our choices are backed by the team. The best customer relationships are built on collaboration and the willingness to challenge each other in pursuit of something better.

PERSONAL PASSIONS

Outside of work, I’m passionate about mentoring high school students and helping them explore careers in construction. I’ve volunteered through ACE Mentorship and other outreach efforts, getting our youth excited about their future, and I find real value in sparking interest in the next generation. I also coach youth sports for my kids’ teams, which keeps me grounded and connected.
