If you want to do good work, it’s best to do it with good people.
I grew up in Robinson, TX, a small town just outside of Waco. After high school I went to college at Abilene Christian University and earned a B.S. Degree in Composite Interdisciplinary Studies, with an emphasis in Business and Ministry. After graduating I moved back to the Waco area for a couple of years before moving to Fort Worth.
While at ACU, I took part in The Leadership Summit in Colorado and focused on entrepreneurship in my studies. Since, I completed the Dale Carnegie Course, a Lean Builder’s Training, and have also completed my OSHA 30 Hour.
I worked in residential construction throughout my college years as a framer, carpenter, painter and installing residential A/C. I got into the commercial construction side wiring low voltage controls for HVAC and had the opportunity to work on the new science building project at Baylor University, wiring all the controls for Siemens Building Controls System. I then moved into the steel business as an estimator, project manager and salesman. We did everything from structural steel to miscellaneous and ornamental metals. After that experience, I moved to the general contractor side and have been doing that for eight years now. I made the connection with Fransen Pittman through a friend of mine and was immediately impressed with the team, the vision, and the culture of the company. It was an easy decision to come on board.
I have two sons, 3 and 2 years old, so that consumes most of my hobby time. I enjoy anything outdoors, coaching my boys in sports (much more of that to come) and traveling with my wife. I also volunteer with Big Brothers/Big Sisters Outdoor Program and Our Father’s Children.
I was born and raised in rural southwest Pennsylvania. My mom was a nurse and my father was an Army officer. Since then, myself and 3 of my 5 siblings followed suit and joined the army. I was stationed in Tacoma, WA before separating in 2018 and attending college at CSU.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University, and am also OSHA 10 and CPR certified.
I began my internship with Fransen Pittman at the beginning of 2022 which has since blossomed into full-time employment. I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity FP has given me to be a part of such a great company where I can grow through the experience and knowledge of all my co-workers.
Outside of the office, I enjoy getting out in nature with my dogs, working out, reading, or exploring new interests. Coaching wrestling also holds a place in my heart, I’m currently volunteering at a middle school when I can.
My entire family is from Southeast South Dakota where my dad grew up on a dairy farm and began his career making cheese. I was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin while my dad was making cheese for Kraft. My family then moved to Manteca, California after a few years in Wisconsin and then moved to Littleton, Colorado in September of 1988 when my dad started working at Leprino Foods.
I graduated from Columbine High School in 2002 and then graduated from Colorado State University in Fort Collins in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management and a minor in Business Administration.
I started my professional career in 2007 working for a small General Contractor building banks. I was an Assistant Superintendent for a year and a Superintendent for two years. In 2010, I traded my Carhartts for dress pants and joined Fransen Pittman’s preconstruction department as an Estimator. This was the first time I had ever worked in an office! Now, as Preconstruction Director, I am passionate about owner involvement in the early stages of design and conveying how project dollars are prioritized and allocated.
My hobbies are my family! I have been married to my best friend, Laura, for 15 years and we have two amazing kids – daughter, Ziah, and son, David. We have lived in Parker for 12 years and now live in Castle Pines. We are surrounded by a great community of friends and family, and it seems we constantly have those friends and family at our house doing life together.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my husband introduced me to Colorado in 2013 and I have been calling it home ever since.
I graduated from Colorado Technical University with an associate degree in Accounting in the beginning of 2020. In the future, I plan on going back to school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
In my spare time, I love being active outside. I particularly love backpacking with my two dogs, kayaking, and horseback riding. My lifelong goal is to someday have a horse of my own. I am thrilled to be a member of the FP team.
A native Kansan, I was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas and am a graduate of Kansas State University with a degree in Construction Science and Management.
Growing up with a passion to create and build, I got my hands dirty working as a commercial painter and carpenter while pursuing a career in construction management and supporting a young family. My eventful construction career has included building an NFL stadium, casino, churches, medical facilities, and schools. I was thrilled to have had the unique experience of building a new school for my eldest daughter to attend sixth grade, and I admit that she might have had a couple private tours of the school during construction.
I moved to Colorado from Kansas City and have no plans on leaving. Moving to Colorado was a natural fit for me as the great outdoors have always been part of my life, and I spend free time taking my wife and three daughters to the mountains to camp, ski, and hike. More recently my wife and I have focused on developing the interests of our young girls as they pursue environmental activism, graphic design, and fashion.
I was born and raised in Denver, CO as 1 of 10 siblings. As a kid, I enjoyed spending time at the Horse Track with my father, which is where I began to love animals and the farm life. During high school, I would work with my father on remodels during summer breaks.
After graduating high school, I was hired by a local construction company as a laborer and was given the opportunity to start attending CITC to become a Journeyman Carpenter.
I started with Fransen Pittman as a Carpenter in 2003 and worked my way up to Foreman and then Superintendent in 2016, and am now a Senior Superintendent. In the 19 years I have been at Fransen Pittman, I have had the opportunity to work on many great projects, which have included churches, schools, and libraries. It is very rewarding to see the community enjoy these projects after completion.
I am married with four kids and keep busy with sports and 4-H projects. I also enjoy riding and training my horses.
I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, but I only lived there for a short time. My parents moved our family from the Chicago area to Colorado in the '70s, so I consider Colorado my home. My two boys, born and raised in Colorado, still live here as does the rest of my immediate family.
I have been in construction pretty much my whole career. I have worked with Project Managers, Estimators/Pre-Construction, Marketing, and Accounting. I have a been a Project Coordinator with FP since 1999.
You can find me wherever there is sunshine and/pr water! Whether it's the Colorado mountains or Mexico. I love to read and hang out with friends and family.
I grew up between Parker and Castle Rock, Colorado with an interest in tearing apart and rebuilding anything and everything I could get my hands on.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Construction Management at Colorado State University. I have also earned multiple certificates including HAZWOPER, rigging and excavation training.
Starting my career I interned with an environmental remediation/civil contractor based out of Montana. From there, I worked for 3 years in commercial construction in northern Colorado before becoming a multifamily superintendent in Denver for 2 years. I finally found my place at Fransen Pittman specializing in field management.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and friends golfing, camping and traveling on my motorcycle.
I grew up in Panama City, Florida where I was always a short drive from the beach. I was introduced to Colorado on a ski trip when I was little, and I decided that one day I would trade the sand for snow.
When I began applying to colleges, Colorado was the first state on the list. I am a big Rams fan, so it was easy for me to pick Colorado State University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Construction Management.
While enrolled at CSU, I completed two internships with commercial contractors. Through these experiences, I realized how fulfilling construction can be, seeing my own efforts come to fruition, as well as realizing the positive impact that a new building can have on a community. I am lucky to be a FP team member, where we strive to make an positive impact every day.
Since becoming a permanent Colorado resident, I have enjoyed snowboarding, hunting, hiking, and everything else that this state has to offer.
I was born in San Jose, California then moved to Elizabeth, CO at the age of 10. After graduating from high school, I attended McPherson College in Kansas where I went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health and played four years of college football. After meeting my wife at a friend’s wedding in Colorado, I ventured down to Texas where we now both reside.
I earned a degree from McPherson College in Physical Education and Health. Shortly after that, I went on to receive my Construction Management Certificate from Colorado State University.
I began my construction career over summer breaks in high school. I worked for family friends’ company as a laborer. After college, I went back into construction as a carpenter then a project/field engineer in Colorado. Also, during this time, I was helping my dad install hardwood flooring. When I moved down to Texas I worked as a demolition superintendent before joining a general contractor. I heard about FP moving to Texas through the Dallas Business Journal. After reaching out to the Texas team and learning about FP's goals in TX, I haven’t looked back.
I am married with one child. We love going to the beach, flying to see family, and visiting national parks. I also love to spend time outdoors golfing, fishing, playing disc golf, working out, etc. Almost every weekend you can catch me smoking ribs, pork butt or a brisket.
I was born and raised near Tulsa, Oklahoma. I grew up with two older brothers and lots of animals, so there was never a dull moment. I spent the majority of my time playing sports and working on my family’s farm
I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Construction Science.
After several internships in college, I landed with general contractor in Oklahoma City as a project engineer. I progressed my career with them for over 4 years, primarily focused on government and tribal work. Now with FP, I am looking forward to progressing my career even more.
I love to spend time with my brothers and our dogs whether it’s hiking, camping or sitting around the fire pit in the backyard. Having grown up around a lake, I always find myself boating, kayaking or swimming every chance I get in the summer months.
I was born and raised in a small town outside of Kansas City, KS. After graduating high school, I traveled down south to attend the University of Arkansas, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Business. I got married soon after college to my high school sweetheart, and my wife and I decided to move out west to Denver.
I earned a degree in Business from the University of Arkansas and a Master’s in Construction Management from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
I started out my professional career at John’s Manville as an Account Manager. After graduating with my master’s degree, I started working with another GC in Denver for a short stint. I heard about FP through a friend of mine, who told me about a job opening. I was soon hired by FP and I haven’t looked back since!
I love being outdoors and spending time in the mountains, especially during September with an elk tag. I am an avid hunter and fisherman. I also really enjoy golfing, snowboarding, and spending time with my wife and friends.
Although not technically a Colorado native, I consider myself to be one because I have lived in our beautiful state since I was two years old; however, you can track my family heritage back to 1869 when they originally homesteaded in both Larkspur and Pine, Colorado (Fun fact: my ancestors used to own the rock in Castle Rock!).
I graduated from Metropolitan State University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in HR Management. I currently hold my Professional in Human Resources certification, which provides continuous opportunities to stay relevant on the latest HR trends, compliance, obligations, and more.
I fell into a career in construction by accident when my first employer (an earth retention subcontractor) found my resume posted online and offered me a job. I had zero construction industry experience; however, once I arrived, I realized that I could not see myself working in any other industry. After spending 10 years working for that company, I realized it was time to spread my wings and fly. In the fall of 2016, I gracefully landed at FP. I presently sit on the AGC Mental Health Taskforce as well as the Wellth Clinical Risk Committee to help ensure that employee wellness is a top priority at FP.
I have been involved in competitive dog sports, both professionally and as a hobby, since I was eight years old. When I am not showing or training dogs, you can find me outside on a hiking trail, on my bike, or in my garden. I have also recently learned that I enjoy fly fishing and skiing (I went skiing for the first time in my life at 36 years old!).
I started my construction journey during my summer breaks in high school being a laborer and craftsman for a commercial contractor in Memphis, Tennessee. Growing up being in construction taught me a lot about the industry and the people that make projects come together in the field. I have been hooked on building things ever since.
After working construction in high school, I went on to study Civil Engineering at Mississippi State University where I specialized in roadway and pavement design. Studying roadway and pavement design helped me reimagine construction from the ground up. I enjoyed my time at MSU and always try and get back for a couple of baseball games in the spring.
Interning for FP the summer of my junior year of college may have been one of the best career moves I could have made. As an intern, I was lucky enough to get to work on the Cherry Creek School District projects in the field under a great team. I learned more that summer then I could have ever imagined. That summer really did change the way I looked at construction, and all the moving parts it takes to complete a commercial construction project. Now, being full-time member of the FP team has really inspired me to push myself and pursue a career that inspires others to build things that truly matter like schools and churches.
The best part about living in Colorado are all the outdoor activities. When I'm not at work, I'm in the woods hunting for elk, deer, turkey, or I'm fly fishing in a river somewhere in this beautiful state.
I grew up in Elizabeth, Colorado.
I attended Colorado State University where I earned a bachelor's degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University.
Through college, I worked as a landscaper and residential carpenter. After graduating college and finding a great career with Fransen Pittman, I've gained extensive experience in the industry as a Field Engineer and now Project Engineer.
Most of my free time is spent with my wife—we hunt and fish as much as we can.
I was raised in a small town in Kansas, attended Kansas State University, but transferred to Cal Poly Pomona where I graduated. I’m married to the boy I met in the next small town over in Kansas and we have two sons.
I have a BS in Business Administration—Accounting from California State Polytechnic University.
I have many years of accounting experience in various industries including construction, engineering, nonprofit, manufacturing, and grocery/retail.
I love watching my sons play baseball and spending time with my husband, family, and close friends. I also enjoy traveling, gardening, playing with my dogs, watching movies, and cooking/baking.
As a Colorado native, I spent all of my youth in the Littleton area where I grew up to love hiking, camping, and dirt bike riding. For several years, I considered my second home to be wherever we could pitch a tent and hit the dirt bike trails.
I became part of the FP family in July 2003. With FP, I have a successful history with remodels on historic buildings, additions, and new, ground-up buildings, constructing them close to schedule and within budget. My experience includes a variety of project types and locations. From close to home where I completed the Leach Center for Performing Arts building at Colorado Academy, and Maddox ECE and Bishop Elementary for Englewood Schools, to a new library followed by the new Town Hall in Hudson, Colorado, and an addition to the elementary school is Strasburg. I attribute my success to the fact that I enjoy unique challenges associated with all of the projects I have been on. I take a lot of pride in my strong ability to “solve the puzzles” that naturally come with construction. My favorite project is the “next” one. I am always looking forward to building another lasting relationship of success and trust with a new client or reinforcing that relationship with a current client. I take my projects to heart and my focus is always on what will make my client proud to have me onboard.
In the fall and winter, I’m an avid Broncos fan, as well as a fan of all the teams my grandsons have played for in their youth leagues and throughout high school.
I am a Colorado native, and I grew up along the front range, except for a brief time in Texas. The last of my childhood years were spent in Loveland, CO where I graduated from Thompson Valley High School in 1977 “Go Eagles.” I quickly followed in my father and uncle’s footsteps to the construction industry. I remember being a young boy, going to work with my father and uncle, building homes up in the foothills. There’s something about being a part of a team and creating a place for shelter; rooms to sleep and a place to build memories.
I graduated from Construction Industry Training Council of Colorado (CITC), which is a four-year trade school, where I earned my Journeyman card.
My professional career has been spent with FP, since June of 1997- 25 years and going!
When I am not working, you will find me outdoors. I grew up boating, hunting, fishing, hiking, golfing, and ATVing. My favorite times are spent with my beautiful wife and three amazing kids, creating long lasting memories.
I was born and raised in Colorado, and spent most of my youth playing sports and exploring all that Colorado has to offer. My summers were spent camping, golfing, road tripping, and learning about the crazy world of construction.
I spent four great years in Fort Collins, where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Colorado State University.
I started working at FP five years ago as a Field Engineer, where I would spend my next four years working on projects in wonderful eastern Colorado. I started working on projects of my own as an Assistant Superintendent after my days out east, and I am currently an Estimator in the Windsor Office.
In the summer, I partake in camping, backpacking, anything to do with water, and projects around the house. In the winter, I try to get up to the mountains as often as possible to go snowboarding.
I grew up in the small town of Evansdale, Iowa with my parents and three brothers. We spent as much time as we could outdoors camping, fishing, canoeing, and doing the things we loved to do. When I was thirteen years old, I joined my parent’s country band and we played at weddings and local venues for about two years. I was also in a rock band with my oldest brother, which is partly why I moved to Colorado. All of the band members moved to CO for work and to expand the band’s experience. I followed in 1983, and I have been in Colorado since. I have three kids and four grandchildren that I spend as much time with as I can.
I came through the trades fresh out of high school and I have my general contractor's A Commercial License, 30 hour OSHA, CPR certification, Storm Water Certification, Fork Lift Certification, training in Microsoft Project, and experience using BluBeam.
I started my construction career as a concrete laborer and worked my way up to Foreman. I spent about 12 years doing concrete foundations. I then moved on to work for a general contractor as a Carpenter, and after three years, I moved up to Superintendent, and I have been in this role since. I've been on the Fransen Pittman team for over 20 years, and I have been fortunate to work on many amazing projects with so many wonderful people.
The hobby I have spent the most time enjoying is music. I started playing drums when I was ten years old, and I have been in many bands playing at venues in Iowa and Colorado up until 2021, when I decided to pause for a while. I have always liked to be in the outdoors; I enjoy camping, fishing, riding ATVs, sitting around the campfire playing guitars and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and I now have more free time to do so now that I chose to put music on hold for now.
I was born and raised in Colorado and enjoy family, classical design, great craftsmanship, faith, and a good conversation (with the appropriate beverage, of course).
Growing up in a construction family, I started going to work with my dad during the summers when I was 12. At heart, I am a builder, and I have worked in many areas of the construction industry over the years. I was Fransen Pittman’s first employee, hired as a Superintendent in 1994, and moved into an estimating role a few years later. The development of the construction industry, and the ever-changing role of the general contractor in commercial construction has necessitated a fresh and innovative development of estimating techniques and practices that are empowering owners, as well as design team members, to squeeze every drop of potential out of every project participated in. I am proud to have had a hand in developing all of FP’s preconstruction methods, techniques and tools, such as the Cost Modeling process, Estimate design and presentation, Tracking formats and philosophy. I run the Preconstruction Services Department and am blessed to have a large contingent of talented estimating professionals that are helping FP to reshape what defines preconstruction, and bringing efficient, thoughtful, cost effective, and ultimately tremendously valuable projects to fruition wherever possible.
My wife, Julie, and I are accustomed to having 35-50 people for Thanksgiving dinner, which seems like a lot, but 10 of those are our kids. That’s right, 10 kids and a growing number of grandkids! This means that things are always lively and seldom quiet.
Though I am originally from Colorado, I attended Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas where I earned my BBA in Management and Marketing.
I have been with FP for over seven years and since my start have become a LEED Green Associate and a Certified Quality Assurance Technician.
After college, I returned to Colorado where I like to spend time with my wife and dog enjoying the outdoors. I can be found boating and water skiing in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter. You can also catch me at one of FP’s intramural games- I never turn down a good old-fashioned competition and enjoy anything that is team sport related.
I was born and raised in Craig, Colorado where I lived until 2006 when I moved to Fort Collins and then to Denver.
I am a graduate of CITC 2016, where I graduated top of my class and was carpenter of the year.
I grew up in construction, as my father was a custom home builder and my grandmother was an architect. I began my career as a basic laborer and have worked my way up to superintendent with a career focus on schools and government facilities. I absolutely love building for the betterment of the communities we live in.
My wife and I love everything that Colorado has to offer. Emphasis on white water rafting, traveling for live music, and exploring the mountains with our 2 dogs.
I grew up in Boulder City, Nevada, outside of Las Vegas. Most of my memories revolve around swimming, with my mom as the swim coach. I ended up being recruited to swim at the University of Denver.
At DU, I majored in Real Estate and the Built Environment with a concentration in Construction Management. As a swimmer, I participated in NCAA championships all four years and became All American my junior year, placing seventh in the mile. I also competed at the Olympic trials twice in 2012 and 2016.
I started working for Fransen Pittman as a project Engineer in May of 2016. I was given the opportunity to transition to be an onsite Project/Field Engineer for several ground-up schools. I’m currently in Preconstruction, estimating many projects and using what I learned in operations to make the transition from Pre-Con to Operations smoother.
I enjoy playing with my dog Oscar, who I regularly bring to the office. Follow him on Instagram (@oscartheminigoldendoodle). I still swim, but more so to stay in shape. When the weather is nice, I enjoy being outside either camping, spelunking, hiking, fishing, overlanding, or modifying my Tacoma.
I was born in Wyoming and raised in Grand Junction, Colorado by two, now retired, middle school teachers. My younger sister and I grew up enjoying all the benefits of Colorado and were heavily involved with youth and competitive sports. If we weren’t outside playing a pick-up game, riding our bikes or running through the sprinklers with the neighborhood kids, we could be found floating down the river, camping & fishing on the Grand Mesa or boating at Lake Powell. After graduating high school, I moved to Golden, Colorado to attend college.
I graduated from Colorado School of Mines with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Civil Specialty and a Minor in Economics & Business. During my time at Mines, I was able to secure multiple summer internships in varying industries, but I received my first taste of construction with a mining company I worked for in Hibbing, MN. I was tasked with monitoring the progress of multiple upstream earth dams and quickly realized I had a desire to be involved with taking nothing and making it into something.
I started my professional career with another mid-sized general contractor here in the Denver metro area and worked for them for 13 years. I started as an entry level field engineer, wore multiple hats throughout my career there and eventually landed as a project manager. Much of my experience is with affordable housing and multi-family construction, with some solar and historical building construction thrown into the mix. From there I went to a smaller general contractor looking to establish themselves in the Denver market. I spent almost 3 years there as a project executive overseeing various tenant finish and adaptive reuse projects located in Denver and Detroit, MI. I came to FP because I realized I wanted to work on projects that make a difference in communities. FP provides opportunities to do just that, and I’m elated to be part of a team who prioritizes and supports these types of impactful projects.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends (and friends that are family) doing whatever suits our fancy—I will never turn down an adventure with good company. Many of my hobbies are sports related or revolve around sporting events. I love to play golf any chance I get, and I play in an adult coed softball league during the summers. I will watch just about any sport that is on, but my teams are the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rockies and if I had to pick a college team it would be the Ohio State Buckeyes (my mom is from Ohio). I’m a sucker for live music and concerts, especially if the weather is nice and the venue is outside. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining at my house with my dog, Kona.
I was raised in the beautiful town of Loveland, Colorado. Throughout my young years, I was deeply involved in youth hockey, where I learned the importance of teamwork, dedication, and competition. My wife and I call Northern Colorado home, where we look to deepen our roots within the area for years to come.
I graduated from Colorado State University (Go Rams!) with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management. CSU taught me that the construction industry in Colorado truly is a community, and one that I am proud to be a part of.
I started working in the construction industry at the age of 14, where I was able to earn money helping my brother shingle houses in rural Nebraska. Throughout the years, I have held the titles of Laborer, Carpenter, Superintendent, and Field Engineer in both residential and commercial markets. Fransen Pittman is a wonderful team to be a part of, and I look forward to building more communities with them.
I am blessed to live in this great state, where hobbies are plentiful, regardless of the season. I enjoy hunting, fly fishing, water sports, and pond hockey.
I was born and raised in Taiwan through my early 30s.
I obtained a bachelor’s degree as an accounting major and started my career with Deloitte Taiwan as a financial statement auditor. The first 10 years of my career were the exploring stage – an auditor, an accounting manager/controller, and a few years of personal financial planning. After a decade in the industry, I ended up fulfilling my dream to study abroad and enrolled at UT Dallas to pursue a master’s degree in accounting. After 18 months, I completed my degree, earned a CPA license, and received a job offer in Denver, Colorado.
With the advantage of being a native Mandarin speaker and a few years of audit and accounting experience in Asia, I joined Crowe GPH Horwath (merged with Crowe LLP in early 2017) as a financial statement auditor, mainly performing public company audits. I specialized in auditing Chinese companies listed in US stock exchanges. After burning years of late-night oil and chasing countless deadlines, I decided it was time to switch gears. I initially worked as an accounting manager for a manufacturing company before joining FP. I've found that this is a great team to work with for the next chapter in my career.
I am an avid golfer and a casual skier. I also love traveling internationally with family to experience different cultures, scenes, and food.
I was born in Montana and moved to Tucson during my sophomore year of High School. In 1978, I moved to Denver with the intention of completing my degree in Architectural Engineering. In 1981, I married my wife Donna and eventually had our two boys, Travis and Clayton.
I attended Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona studying an array of subjects from data processing, science and math, and finally architecture. I attended CU Boulder for a year and returned to work in the consulting engineering industry and became a project manager for several firms.
My career started with McFall, Konkel and Kimball where I worked as a draftsman and worked my way up to Senior Designer. I then worked for Abeyta Engineering Consultants, and it was there that I worked on some of the preliminary site studies for the future Denver International Airport, which replaced Stapleton Airport. My next stint was in Greeley, CO where I worked for AE Associates. After Greeley, I moved back to Montana for a 3-year stint with MKK in Billings, which was fairly uneventful. I moved my family back to the Denver area to work with The RMH Group, then worked for Mazzetti and Moen Engineering before coming to work for FP. While at Mazetti, I designed the Hover project which was also constructed by FP. It is indeed a small world. I have had the privilege of being involved in some very interesting projects over the last 44 years. During my time, I worked under the tutelage of some incredible engineers and have learned a lot both in the office and in the field.
My family loves to go camping, hiking and my wife loves to fish. I play racquetball, golf and dabble in woodworking.
I was born and raised in the high desert of Southern California and lived there until I was 18. I went to Lancaster High School where I played club and school volleyball, then moved to Colorado after I graduated in 2019.
Joining the FP team marked the start of my professional career. The majority of my family is in construction and, in a way, they all inspired me to be a part of something bigger.
I love to read, but I also enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
I grew up a Meloneer in Rocky Ford, Colorado. Most of my childhood was spent playing sports, being with family (immediate and extended) and helping my father with house projects. I am one of six siblings and there is still never a dull moment when we get together as a family.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a Construction Management degree. While I began my higher education in the Civil Engineering Department at CSU, my construction experience and a love for carpentry and building pulled me toward a transfer into the Construction Management program.
I have experience as a Construction Superintendent as well as a Project Manager, primarily in healthcare and K-12 facilities. I enjoy the opportunity to participate in the construction of facilities that will make a difference in the lives of communities and students for decades to come. I am also fascinated with the evolving systems and construction methods/products used in the building process, and strive to learn something new each day and with every new project/design.
I enjoy being outdoors-camping, hiking, disc golf, and boating with friends and family. I have two beautiful daughters that keep me very occupied when I’m not at work. With the addition of a puppy this year, and my daughters starting to participate in community sports activities (which I enjoy nothing more than watching them participate in), it seems that time for hobbies outside of our daily family craziness are hard to come by.
I was born and raised in a small town in Utah. I spent the first decade of my career in Utah, and then moved to Colorado for nearly a decade. I'm now a superintendent for the FP Texas office.
After graduating from high school, I went to firefighter school where I earned my Fire I/Fire II certifications as well as my EMT B certification. All the while I was working full time in construction, building houses. Throughout my career in construction, I have maintained my certifications in First Aid, CPR, and AED. I have also kept up on my equipment operator certifications, taken advanced course for Stormwater Management, as well as the CQAT program.
I started in the construction world when I was 18 years old as a grunt, sweeping floors and hauling trash. I would always look for ways to move up to the next level. I have worked as a flooring contractor, wood framer, carpenter, and glazer; working my way up to Superintendent where I continue to grow. Throughout my 22 years in construction, I have always been able to be a part of many fun and challenging projects. I have worked on many churches, schools, retail buildings, and hospitals.
I am one of many woodworkers in my family. I have always had a passion for it ever since I was little. I have taken that knowledge and built many items in my home that we still use today. I have recently upgraded to a shop with a CNC router, which has allowed me to get into a whole other realm of woodworking.
I was born in Garden City, KS, but was raised in Colorado since I was seven years old. My husband, Jacob Miles, and I are now part of the FP Texas team!
I have been working with Fransen Pittman as a Project Coordinator since October of 2017.
I am a mother of three boys who are my pride and joy. While only two are still at home, I make the time to see my eldest as often as I can. The majority of my time is spent at soccer games, wrestling matches, and hosting family dinners. Family is everything to me. I also enjoy baking, cooking and crafting.
I was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania, best known for Hershey Chocolate and rolling Amish farmland. Drawn to adventure and skiing after college, I moved to the great Rocky Mountains and called Denver home for 15 years. After meeting my wife and having 2 children in Colorado, we decided to make an exciting move to the South and established ourselves in Grapevine, Texas.
I graduated from Pennsylvania College, part of Penn State University with an undergraduate degree in Construction.
My career and passion for construction started with working as a Carpenter during my college summers. After college graduation, I continued my career path as a Superintendent for commercial office projects, primarily in downtown Denver. Throughout my time working in the field, I was always fascinated with how the project was set up by the roles and responsibilities of the preconstruction team. This was the driving factor for my move into estimating and the Preconstruction Manager role. Over the past year I accepted an opportunity to be a part of a two-person team in opening an office for Fransen Pittman in the Texas DFW region. What I enjoy most in my career are the relationships that are made on a project and carried through for many projects to come.
I have two domestic hobbies: cooking for my family/friends and fixing/modifying my kids’ toys. I also love being outdoors; running, biking, snowboarding, and I am always trying to figure out the great game of golf!
I am a Colorado native and was born in Boulder, CO. I grew up in Parker, CO.
I earned an associate degree in Culinary Management form The Art Institute of Colorado and also have a bachelor's degree in Business Management form Colorado State University. In high school and throughout college, I would spend my breaks working in the field wherever I was needed: painting, clearing debris, tying rebar, packing grout, maintaining stormwater, and surveying. Many of my on-site mentors throughout adolescence are still FP team members today. Shout-out to Tony Ortiz, Bernardo Chavez, Chris Hughes, and CJ Campbell!
I started my career as a professional chef creating menu items and managing product for Comedy Works and Yard House. Cooking soon became more of a hobby, as I desired a career/pathway where I could make an impact. This motivation brought me to FP, where I have spent time in the field, estimating, and now, project management.
I love the outdoors, snowboarding, and going up to our family cabin. Becoming a dad has changed some of our activities and frequencies- all for the better. I'm also a big fan of video games. When I have a little down time, I like to immerse myself into a FPS game. I still have a passion for cooking and creating dishes that bring people together for good food, drinks, and laughs. Follow me @keepcalmchiveonco for all my quintessential recipes.
I was born and raised in Longmont, CO and went to college in a small town in North Carolina on a D2 soccer scholarship. I went to school to become a 3rd grade teacher but quickly realized that wasn’t the path I wanted to be on. I came back to Colorado and took art classes at CSU in Ft. Collins. I then started my accounting and business administration degree at Independence University.
After coming back to Colorado from North Carolina I worked as an administrative assistant at an oil and gas company and was an accounts payable specialist for Wellbridge (AKA Colorado Athletic Club). After a few years of that I moved over to a small supermarket chain in Castle Rock and was their accounts payable specialist. I wanted to advance in accounting, so I had a conversation with Jenna Shafer about what my future and goals looked like, she mentioned there was an opportunity with FP and I took it! I am looking forward to my future here at FP!
I play in adult soccer leagues, adult coed softball leagues and coach my daughter's volleyball team. I like to camp, fish, snowboard, and travel with my family! I like to be busy and active whenever I can!
I grew up in a small town in central Texas but moved to Colorado in the summer of 2016 with my husband and three kids to be closer to family.
I graduated from Texas Tech in 2003 with degrees in General Business and Marketing.
I love being part of the FP family. I enjoy contributing to amazing projects that benefit communities across Colorado. FP has a great atmosphere and group of individuals that really make you feel like you are home.
I enjoy spending time with my family, whether it includes watching my kids play baseball or involves hiking and being outdoors.
Originally from New York, I grew up in the Hudson Valley. My family and I enjoyed summers at the beach and skiing in the winter months. After a few ski vacations, we eventually all moved out to Colorado, where I met my husband. My husband is also from the east coast, but we have made Colorado our home, raising our children here in Douglas County.
I have been the Office Manager for Fransen Pittman since 2004. I am also the IT Director, responsible for managing the IT department, the Project Coordinator team, and our buildings.
I am passionate about traveling, and I love to learn about other cultures. I also like to ski, read, ride my bike, watch my son play soccer, and spend time with my family.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, where I grew up mostly in a small town. I have a huge family and growing up close-knit was awesome.
I went from a Journeyman carpenter to Foreman, and then moved up to Superintendent. I hold welding certificates, OSHA 30, NFPA 700-E, and am stormwater certified. My training is always ongoing in terms of quality assurance and various other courses.
I started working as a Carpenter Apprentice, framing houses right out of high school. After a few years, I bought out my boss and was on my own until the early 2000s, when the housing market fell apart. I moved into the Carpenter Foreman role for a commercial company until my family moved here in 2009. I started working as an Assistant Superintendent in 2010, and I have loved doing it since. I had an opportunity to join the FP team in late 2017, and I jumped on it.
My family loves to be in the mountains during the winter and at the lake in the summer. My son and I like to deer hunt. When we get the chance, we also like to travel and visit our family scattered around the country.
I grew up in the suburbs of Colorado with my parents, older sister, two cats, and green tree frog, Elvis.
I graduated CU Boulder with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and an affinity for the Flatirons. Working at Fransen Pittman keeps my pen sharp and allows for exploration of new passions, like graphic design.
A series of summer internships led me to Fransen Pittman after college graduation. I’ve grown roots and stayed ever since!
Skiing, attending live shows, and trying to get on a first name basis at the taco place up my street.
I grew up in Englewood, CO and am a fourth generation Coloradan. I love construction. Both of my grandfathers, my dad, and four of my uncles were in construction. I remember working with my dad and brothers as a boy and learning valuable skills beginning with building tree houses, forts, and anything else we could make with nails, saws, hammers, and boards. I also grew up very active in sports, student organizations, and being an outdoorsman.
I earned a BS Degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University.
I began my career in civil construction after graduating from college. At that time, there was an economic recession and jobs were very hard to come by. I knew that I ultimately wanted to be in building construction. A few years later, I had the opportunity to move back to the Denver area with a building contractor and never looked back. As my career developed, I worked in estimating, project management, business development, and am now V.P. of Operations. Building is in my blood and I’m so thankful to be doing what I am passionate about. Most of all, I love building relationships with those that I work with and work for! Nothing better than building friends and buildings at the same time.
My primary hobbies outside of work are bicycling and skiing. My business partner, John Pittman, and I are now embarking on another cross-country bicycle tour after having finished the Atlantic to Pacific ride a few years ago. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Bobbie, and we have one daughter who is married and is also a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
I was born in Denver and have lived in Colorado my whole life, with Bennett being my current home. I have nine brothers and sisters in my family, as well as 14 nieces and nephews. My whole life I have been a Traditional Roman Catholic, and the Catholic faith is the center of everything I do. Since 2008, I have worked a week of my summer for a Convent of Franciscan Sisters in Kansas City with a group of men and boys from our church-the highlight of all my summers. In May of 2020, I married Catherine, who I met while in college in St Mary’s, Kansas. We have one boy named Steven who was born in May of 2021, and we hope to see many more!
After high school graduation in June of 2015, I entered a Saint Thomas Aquinas Seminary and was there for five months. After leaving the Seminary in March, I enrolled in St. Mary’s College in St. Mary’s, Kansas, and graduated with an associate's degree in Liberal Arts at the end of May 2018.
I have been at Fransen Pittman since 2018, and look forward to continual growth in the understanding of preconstruction and construction.
I love to camp and hike in the mountains-sun, rain, and snow. Our church has a Scout Group and I help to teach boys basic skills and techniques. I also enjoy playing sports, especially football and volleyball. Some of my favorite studies are the Latin language as well as Music, History, and the works of JRR Tolkien.
I grew up in Elizabeth, Colorado with my parents and two younger sisters. My father is a commercial contractor and my mother works for the school district. We didn’t have a computer until 1998, so we spent our time outside playing in the dirt, riding bikes, and raising farm animals. I also spent a lot of time building side projects with my dad, learning about building things. In middle school, I started working at a shooting range, guiding pheasant hunts, and throwing clay targets for shooters. The shooting range was sold my junior year, so I went to work for a local land surveyor and started acquiring professional technical skills.
Having spent my youth learning about building and stepping into the surveying profession, engineering school seemed like a logical progression. I chose to attend Northeastern Junior College in rural Sterling, Colorado because it seemed more familiar than moving to a large city/university. I finished my education at Colorado State University in Fort Collins in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. I continued land surveying throughout college to pay the bills.
After graduating, I accepted an offer at JR Engineering, in Fort Collins, and so I began my career in northern Colorado as a design engineer. We worked on mostly land development, including residential and commercial projects, and also as city engineer for some municipal clients. Early on, it became apparent, that my background in surveying was unique, so I continued to provide surveying services for my own projects and that helped me into a role as a project manager. As the housing market crashed in 2008-09, my ability to find both surveying and engineering work kept the paychecks coming, barely. I obtained my professional engineering license in 2010. In 2012, I moved to TST Consulting Engineers, where I had an opportunity to work on some of the biggest projects in Northern Colorado. Those projects had complex constraints which required significant problem solving regarding water rights, metropolitan districts, finance, oil and gas, wetlands, major regional infrastructure systems, and master planning. Now I’m enjoying the opportunity to bring that experience to Fransen Pittman and explore how I can help get our projects out of the ground.
I have enjoyed shooting sports since I was old enough to hold a cork gun and hunt grasshoppers. For many years, I shot sporting clays competitively and traveled around the country. These days, I spend most of my free time in the South Park region, fishing, riding snowmobiles, side by sides, and exploring. I also enjoy woodworking, but its hard to find time for it, when I’m always in the high country.
I was blessed to grow up in Maryland with eight siblings on land surrounded by woods. I loved doing anything outdoors with my family; my brother and I especially loved projects around the house or building things with my dad. We would visit relatives in Colorado every summer, and finally we moved to Parker, CO in 2000.
I was mentored by and worked for a builder from the age of 13 through high school on homes and additions. After graduation, I attended Colorado State University for Construction Management for two years, then chased my dream to serve our country as a combat medic in the US Army. Through two deployments in 2004 and 2006 to Afghanistan and Iraq, I really enjoyed the camaraderie and leadership skills I developed on active duty as a Sergeant. Today, I attribute much of my style in running projects to learning to “lead from the front,” in setting an example and standards for my crew and every subcontractor onsite.
In 2008, I returned to my love of building, starting at Fransen Pittman as a Carpenter, and working my way up to Foreman and Superintendent in 2014. I have since been able to run larger projects and mentor others as a Senior Superintendent. I truly love what I do, building amazing projects for our communities right here in Colorado. It’s so rewarding to work with a team in the field to produce projects that exceed our client’s expectations, and that we are proud of.
I am married with four kids! We love camping and raising 4-H animals, and I spend my "free time" outdoors hunting and fishing.
I was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada before my family moved to Windsor, Colorado in 2010. After graduating high school, I attended the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. After University, my first job brought me back to Colorado where I have lived ever since.
I attended the University of Nebraska – Lincoln earning a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
After graduating from University, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career revolving around field work. This path brought me back to Denver, where I started my career centering around infrastructure construction. After working building bridges and cast-in-place/pre-cast concrete structures, I made the decision to switch to the commercial construction world, which brought me to Fransen Pittman. My time at FP has been nothing short of amazing so far. I get to work on incredible builds within the State of Colorado, and I am looking forward to continuing to bring amazing projects to this area!
When I am not in the office, I enjoy playing both ice hockey and golf. I continually enjoy pursuing these sports and staying active on a daily basis! My other hobbies are centered around living in this amazing state that provides all the opportunity to ski, fly fish, backpack, and hike! Whenever I get a chance, I also enjoy traveling to various parts of the globe.
I was born in Wichita, Kansas, though I grew up in east Africa because my father was a missionary doctor (Pathologist) in rural clinics around Nairobi, Kenya.
I earned a bachelor's degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University.
Even growing up in Africa, I have always had a passion for constructing. I enjoy the opportunities to form new relationships with each new project, and I always strive to exceed expectations with clients. Working with other professionals in a common goal of bringing an idea into reality has always been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s like farming. You get to physically see and touch the result of all your labor and it’s very satisfying to be able to do that. It’s a noble trade and I feel privileged to work alongside so many extraordinary people.
I currently live in Northern Colorado with my wife, Julia, and our five children. I met my wife in Fort Collins when I was attending CSU for Construction Management. We were both on the church worship team together, and the story goes that Julia couldn’t believe how good I was on the drums. Now, we enjoy the rural lifestyle and being involved in our kids' 4H Community. My children compete in shooting sports and swine market livestock. Jack (my oldest) and I enjoy large game hunting and pheasant hunting here in Colorado.
As a Colorado native, I grew up in Elizabeth, CO enjoying the traditional outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer, with a passion for all shooting sports!
I completed my prerequisites at Colorado Christian University, and after a long hiatus, I transferred to CSU Global to finish out my BS in Project Management. In addition to traditional education, I previously held MSHA, Hazwoper, and several other industry-specific certifications prior to coming to FP.
Although I did not come from a GC previously, I have 17 years of experience in the civil/geosynthetic industry, and I have been blessed to travel all around the US (and some abroad) where I worked as a superintendent, fabrication manager, and project manager.
When I am not working, I love to shoot, ride motorcycles, and camp as much as possible, although a lot of my time in nice weather is spent at the diamond watching my daughter play softball!
I am originally from Southern California but moved to Colorado from Las Vegas, NV.
I have been with Fransen Pittman since 2015 as a Project Coordinator.
I have a beautiful daughter, son, and husband. I love to bake and spend time with my family.
I grew up in Hammond, Louisiana, a small college town. As a boy, I spent countless days on my bicycle exploring the Louisiana countryside. Each August my family would pack up our camping gear and drive to Colorado to spend a couple of weeks at the foot of the Maroon Bells. The cool, crisp mountain air was addictive, and I suppose this is where I developed my love for Colorado.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree in Economics, and then enrolled in the University of Oklahoma, where I earned my master’s degree in Civil Engineering.
I began my career with Robert E McKee Construction. After five years with McKee, I moved to Calcon Constructors. After working twelve years in the Denver construction market, I started Fransen Pittman Construction Company with Von Fransen. Nurturing a small startup company into one of Colorado’s leading construction companies alongside the entire FP team has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life.
I love building things, so no surprise that I love woodworking in my shop. I also enjoy bicycle touring, climbing 14ers, and flying.
I grew up in Olathe, KS (30 minutes west of KC) with an older brother and sister. I was blessed to have 90% of my extended family living nearby within 2 hours away, so we are all still very close to this day. Basketball was my main sport growing up, but also trickled in cross country for 3 years in high school. I tracked every mile, totaling ~ 910.34 miles.
I graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor’s in Construction Science and Management. I also have certifications as an ACI Tilt-Up Technician, MEWP operator, CPR/FA/AED, and OSHA 30.
In college, I completed three summer internships, two of them in Colorado. After graduation I worked for a northern Colorado general contractor before finding my place at Fransen Pittman.
My time outside of work is spent working out and boxing with my roommates in our garage gym, playing golf, snowboarding, and rock climbing when possible (pretty much any body-weight activity). I love having conversations about Jesus and discussions on theology— I attend BRAVE Church in Westminster. I also enjoy watching college football and basketball.
I was born and raised in Pueblo, CO. Although it was during the downturn of the steel industry, it was a character-building time for me; it was where my work ethic was born and flourished.
I was an avid reader/writer and worked in a bookstore during high school, and during my senior year I was the editor of my high school paper. I was just sure that I wanted to be a reporter, so off to school (University of Southern Colorado) to major in Mass Communications. I needed to pay rent, so I took a job with my brothers to do the payroll for their masonry/drywall/framing business. The rest, they say, is history, and I have been in construction ever since.
While the majority of my career was in AP & Payroll (which I loved), the last few years I have had the good fortune to be more involved in the accounting side of construction.
I am in the early stages of empty nesting, so I am excited to have the time to reacquaint myself with the things I loved doing already (traveling with my sons), while finding new things to do to fill in the extra time on my hands.
I was born and raised in Denver, CO. After graduating high school, I moved to Aurora, Colorado and a few years later I started a family and my career at a family-owned home food service company.
I started with Town & Country Foods, worked my way up from receptionist to Office Manager and happily remained there for 20 years. After leaving Town & Country Foods, I was hired as an Office Manager at TOPGOLF in Centennial, Colorado for 5 years. During the pandemic I left TOPGOLF and was hired as an Office Manager for a restoration company. I needed a change of pace and I enjoy doing payroll, and this decision led me to my current role at Fransen Pittman.
I love spending time with my family, walking my dog, running, yoga, bike riding, bowling, reading, and going to the beach.
I was born in Kansas City, MO but moved to Parker, CO early on. As a kid, much of my time was spent with my parents and younger sister. We were always active in sports and touring the many wonders of Colorado.
I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder (Go Buffs!) where I earned a Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences degree. Later, I earned a master’s degree in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction.
The beginning of my professional career was spent in elementary schools as a speech/language pathology assistant and a third grade teacher. I jump at the chance to be creative, so the opportunity to join FP's marketing team was a dream realized.
When I'm not chasing my toddler son, I enjoy reading, attending live shows, or checking out breweries around town with my husband, family, and friends.
In my early childhood years, I was fortunate to be raised on a farm and ranch located in Eastern Colorado. I started out helping my family with their operation when I was 5 years old driving vehicles and pieces of farm machinery to help out when needed. Being raised with these surroundings taught me a lot about work ethic and how to be organized with my time to make sure everything was completed in a timely manner. During my high school years, I had various jobs around my community including construction, farming, and helping with maintenance at our county fairgrounds.
During my Senior year of High School, I became fascinated with structural and civil engineering. After high school graduation, I decided to make to journey up west to Colorado State University where I majored in Construction Management. It was during this time that I decided to go into the commercial side of construction because of all the different aspects that go into a project. During my last year in college, I was fortunate to have an internship with a smaller General Contractor where I got to learn all aspects of the Commercial Construction Industry.
After graduating from CSU, I started working for AMA Construction in Denver as a Commercial Construction Superintendent. I spent the first few years of my career working on bank remodels and tenant finish projects until 2009, when I had the opportunity to do my first ground up bank project. In 2013 I joined Fransen Pittman. Since then, I have been part of various projects including: K-12 Education, Higher Education, Libraries, Office Buildings, Senior Living, and Worship facilities. As a Superintendent I enjoy communication, problem solving, organization, and scheduling.
I am married with two kids. When I'm not busy watching my kids play sports, I enjoy working on my farm, working on equipment in my shop, and hanging out with my friends.
I am a Denver native and am a graduate of Colorado School of Mines.
I grew up in the construction industry learning from and working with my father, who owned a commercial painting company. As I finished up college, I decided the family painting business wasn't for me and journeyed off on my own into consulting engineering. Fifteen years later, I'm coming full circle back into construction and am excited to be a part of the amazing FP team that I've long admired.
Growing up in rural Kansas with seven brothers and a large extended family, my goal was to escape the flatlands. After traveling, working, and living in Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, and California, I made a home in Evergreen, Colorado in 2015, and with my beautiful wife, wonderful daughter, and hardworking son, we are enjoying our new life in CO.
I have extended training/certifications in crane management, site safety, site management, stormwater, and quality.
I have worked in the construction field for more than 30 years in every aspect, from remodeling Yellowstone Lodge in the 80s to custom home construction in Alaska and Hawaii, and commercial construction in Alaska, California, and Colorado. As a Senior Superintendent, my projects have ranged in scope from $500K to $140M. I joined the FP team in 2017 because their culture of work excellence and commitment to a team spirit aligned with my professional and personal goals.
The outdoors are my passion-with hunting, fishing, and mountain biking being my activities of choice.
A native of Colorado, I grew up in Littleton playing competitive soccer at an early age. I attended Chatfield High School and we were State Champions in 1996. After graduating, I attended a small liberal arts college in Wisconsin and graduated in 2001. I met my husband and we were married in 2003, had our 2 children, and moved back to Colorado in 2009.
I have a bachelor’s degree in art history/studio art, of which I used after I graduated to teach underprivileged kids in Milwaukee for about a year. I started in the banking industry as a teller supervisor after teaching. I have also held licenses in insurance, life and health, and real estate for several years. I’ve focused on finance for most of my life.
I worked as an art teacher out of college, was a teller supervisor for about 3 years, and an office manager for Thrivent Financial in Wisconsin for a year until moving to Colorado. I transferred to an office in Cheyenne, Wyoming and worked in life/health insurance, annuities, mutual funds and managed the office part time for 10 years. In 2018, I pursued a real estate career and still work in a part-time capacity. I started with FP because my kids are older now and I can work full time again. I love the culture and people at FP and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I enjoy the work as a Project Coordinator and Office Manager in Windsor.
I love being outdoors. Snowboarding, wakeboarding, boating, playing indoor/outdoor soccer, walking my dogs, playing cornhole and any other games. I love art of all kinds and love working with my hands. I learned a lot from my dad as a mechanic growing up and can fix/do a lot of things with cars and machines. I have been a foster mom for many years with Big Bones Canine rescue and have led many trips locally and internationally as a team leader for Habitat for Humanity. I love to cook/bake and used to make big decorative cakes. I’m also a movie guru and sometimes talk in movie lines.
Was born and raised in Northern Utah. For several generations, my family all worked in the construction industry. I started at the age of 15 working as a laborer building homes. I was brought up to love all things outdoors. At the age of 20, I went to Alaska to spend the summer and ended up staying there for almost 30 years.
I have had extensive training and accreditations from a 34-year career in the construction industry. I think for most people like me that join the construction industry at a young age, once you get in, you never get out.
I started my career in the construction industry at the age of 15, working my way up from laborer to carpenter and foreman. I later became a superintendent and project manager and am now a senior project manager at Fransen Pittman. I have always wanted to attain more skills and learn as many trades as possible. I joined the Alaska Carpenters Local Union in 1999 and became a Journeyman Carpenter. I am also a certified welder and certified equipment operator. My career has taken me to work across the whole state of Alaska, several states in the lower 48 and Canada. During my career, I have worked alongside almost every type of trade. I recently relocated from Alaska with my wife to Colorado to come to work at Fransen Pittman and we are enjoying every minute of it. Fransen Pittman is a great company that has created a great culture with some of the most professional and knowledgeable people I have worked with. Colorado is a beautiful place and full of kind and friendly people, until you get on the highway with them…!
I enjoy staying physically and mentally fit—hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, biking, motor biking, scuba diving and traveling are all hobbies of mine. I just became aware that I am about to become a grandpa for the first and perhaps the only time, so that will be one of my new main hobbies!
I grew up on an almond farm in Central California where I quickly learned how hard it is to make a buck and to respect people who work with their hands in the elements. I opened a savings account at Bank of America; they gave me a passbook to record interest earned on the money I saved from my paychecks. I loved writing the increase in my account because it was so much easier than spending day after summer day in 100-degree heart working in the field. In high school, I started lending money to classmates at usurious rates so they could buy candy which came with more valuable lessons.
While freezing my tail off at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I studied fishing for steelhead trout and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Soon thereafter, I moved to Colorado, and passed the exam to be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and was one of the first people to become a Certified Construction Industry Finance Professional (CCIFP).
Since moving to Colorado, I have managed the accounting, risk and finances for different companies in several industries while primarily focusing on construction. FP gave me the opportunity to serve its people in 2015 and I am grateful.
My time away from work is spent outside as much as possible by hiking, biking, skiing, and golfing. My favorite is competing with my son in catching fish on a fly.
I was born and raised here in Colorado. I grew up enjoying the benefits of the Colorado environment through fly fishing, camping, snowboarding, and being outside all together. I have spent my time in other states throughout my career, but the experiences that I enjoyed growing up have always pulled me back.
I had wanted to attend Colorado School of Mines since I was eight years old. Following high school, I was able to make that a reality. Focusing on my passion for material and mechanical part design, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. The multi-faceted engineering education I was able to obtain from CMS immediately opened the doors to a career in the construction industry.
My professional career started as a Petroleum/Chemical Engineer in the oil industry. Here, I managed the technical teams in multiple areas of the US in well treatment design and preparation. The position allowed me to travel around the US and exercise my desire to design and create. As the industries ebb and flow, I transitioned over to construction through concrete. I spent time project managing and estimating structural and site concrete with a Colorado group prior to finding my home here at FP. FP has allowed me to continue to develop my construction acumen, and has provided the opportunity to be a part of meaningful and rewarding builds that support local communities and families.
I continue to enjoy the outdoor activities from my childhood, and now I can share them with my own family. When I am not on the river camping or fishing, I am home barbecuing and spending time with friends and family.
I grew up in Los Angeles near Magic Mountain. My parents dropped us off sometimes for an all-day adventure and would pick us up at night. We had some great summer days there, it was cheap and safer back then. I was a visitor of Colorado (Breckenridge) starting in 1993, and moved out here in 2006 with a church plant.
I graduated high school in 1984, went to college for Art and Broadcasting. I fell into construction right after I got married in 1995, and became a wood framer, steel stud framer, and started a business with my buddy as a plumber for 2 years. I am a multi-tradesman and owned my own construction business for around 14 years before coming to FP. I am an avid drywall hanger and finisher, I do tile, painting, build and install cabinets, rough and finish carpentry, fencing, and concrete.
I worked in the Hollywood Studios as a Grip (we built and created backdrops for movies). I worked on TV shows like Coach, Sabrina the Teenage Witch as well as movies like Volcano, Alien 2, Mrs. Santa Clause, and others. I worked on large tilt-ups in Los Angeles and high-rise interiors in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and West Los Angeles. My education helped me prepare for my Superintendent role. The best way to manage your subs is to know their job. I have done their job, while leading by encouragement. I will back them up like family. You are only as good as your team.
I build stuff at home, like my outdoor kitchen, patio cover, and decks. I’ve remodeled every inch of my home. I am an artist/cartoonist and I do over 71 impressions. Some of my favorites are Larry the Cable Guy, Rodney Dangerfield, many Disney characters and a number of Warner Brothers cartoon characters. I like to make people laugh.
I am a Colorado native. I was born Denver and grew up in Grand Junction.
I earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from CSU as well as a Minor in Mathematics. When I was little, I would build my own toys—I’ve always wanted to be an engineer. I also worked in my dad’s restaurant every summer to make extra money during college, where I picked up a love of cooking.
At CSU, I was part of the Industrial Assessment Center, working with local manufacturers to reduce energy usage. After graduation, I started my career at CML Security working on security systems at detention facilities in Colorado & California. From there, I went to work for Western Industrial Contractors building conveyance lines all over the USA. After that, I started my residential construction career with Shaw Construction working on local projects such as the Gov Park Apartments and Casa Bonita. Now, I'm at Fransen Pittman using my past experience as a field engineer.
I love splitting my time between the outdoors and playing video games with my buddies. I grew up snowboarding, skiing, hiking, biking, camping, & rafting with my Boy Scout troop. I love cooking and baking from scratch, always feel free to share a fun recipe or technique!
I grew up in El Paso, Texas. After graduating high school, I travelled to multiple countries doing Christian ministry in Eastern Europe and East Asia. In 2017, I moved to Colorado, the home state of my parents and of much of my extended family. In 2020 I married my former next-door neighbor, childhood friend, and fellow El Pasoan, Samantha. We live in Parker with our son, Timothy.
I graduated from Baylor University in 2015 with a BA in History.
I started with Fransen Pittman in May of 2017 as an intern, and have worked in the field ever since. The projects I've worked on range from Denver to Eastern Colorado. I have certifications in OSHA 30, and Advanced Stormwater Management, and I am currently in the CITC apprenticeship program.
In my free time, I love to play board games and computer games. I am a fanatic about college football and all things Baylor. I have seen games at 11 different stadiums and counting, but none compare to beautiful Waco, Texas and Mclane Stadium! Sic 'em Bears!
Native to Springfield, Ohio, I spent the better part of my life surrounded by corn fields. Although enticing to some, I didn’t quite share the same enthusiasm. With little to do, I found relief through the world of sports, both playing and spectating. Not ironically, these are still some of my passions today.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Construction Management from Bowling Green State University in the Spring of 2012. Immediately following graduation, I moved to Denver, Colorado to start my career.
My career in construction began with a large municipal/industrial contractor where I worked as an Estimator and Field Engineer focusing on pipeline installations. Although this was great exposure for a recent graduate, I soon realized that I much preferred more vertical type construction, and so I sought employment with another Denver-based commercial general contractor. I worked with said company for nearly four years as a Project Engineer and Assistant Project Manager before ultimately making the decision to join the Fransen Pittman family. I couldn’t be happier with the change. To date, my accreditations include CPR and First Aid Certified, OSHA 30-Hour Certified, Stormwater Management Certified and I am also seeking LEED accreditation.
My favorite professional teams include the Ohio State Buckeyes (football), Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Cavaliers. My more personal hobbies include attending music concerts, snowboarding, hiking, and playing basketball, volleyball and golf. I also enjoy spending time with friends, family, my wife, Julie, two sons, Owen and Emmett, and dog, Parker.
Growing up in San Diego, I spent most of my free time at the beach as much as possible honing my surfing skills. I also enjoyed racing motorcycles in the desert and at the track, water skiing, snowboarding, hunting and fishing.
I studied Business Management and Marketing at California State University San Marcos with a minor in Spanish. I hold an EIFS professional certification (C.E.P.) and have extensive experience and training with exterior claddings, weather barriers, water-proofing and structural and non-structural framing.
I have a diverse background that all centers around construction. I cut my teeth in my early years working for my father’s custom cabinet business in San Diego. After college, I spent several years in heavy duty construction equipment sales and rentals. From there I started my estimating and project management career in the demolition industry. That was very valuable, as it helped my understanding of many construction disciplines through “reverse engineering” during demolition. In 2014, my family and I relocated to the Seattle, Washington area where I was able to take my estimating and take-off skills into the Division 5,6,7,9,11 scopes of work. My career blossomed and I worked my way up to become Chief Estimator for 7 Western states. In 2017, opportunity opened a new door for me and I was able to make the leap into the General Contractor side of the business. I found my home in the GC world, as I was able to take my decades of diverse experiences and roll them into a comprehensive position as a project manager. My field, estimating and PM experience in the subcontractor world gave me a different perspective from the traditional construction management degree route. I was extremely fortunate to come across a magnificent team with Fransen Pittman. I’ve been a construction professional for more than 2 decades and can honestly say that Fransen Pittman is a special place with tremendous values and experience. I’m happy to be able to say that I’m part of the FP family.
I grew up in Fort Lupton, Colorado on a family farm. We raised numerous types of livestock over the years and grew corn, small grains, and hay. I also raised some vegetables when I got older that I could sell at the Farmers Market. The farm life gave me a sense of adventure and optimism that has stuck with me. Growing up, I was in 4-H and in high school I was a part of FFA chapter. I held several different offices in both organizations.
Upon graduation from Fort Lupton High School, I continued my education at Northeastern Jr. College in Sterling, CO. After a year of prerequisites, I transferred to Colorado State University and declared my major in Construction Management and graduated in 2008.
I worked my way to a Superintendent position in the water treatment industry. I joined FP in 2014 and I am now a part of the Senior Superintendent group at FP.
I married my college sweetheart, and we have five boys. Life has come full circle to live back at the family farm where we raise some hay and beef steers as a hobby. When I am not farming with my boys, we enjoy hunting and fishing.
I grew up in the middle east, married my best friend, and soon we were blessed with two wonderful kiddos, who own my heart. After a long journey, we moved to the USA in 2012, then to Colorado in 2014.
I graduated in 2009 from the middle east with a Bachelor of Construction Engineering. When my family and I came to the United States, I had to learn English first then go back to school. I earned a Construction Management certificate from CSU, and Architectural drafting from FRCC. In 2020, I started Construction Site Management with AIMS CC and graduated in December 2021. I started as an intern with FP in Summer 2021 and was hired on full-time that August.
FP is the best of the best; I’m planning on spending the rest of my career here. I enjoy challenges and look forward to opportunities where I will be able to assume more responsibilities. Ultimately, I’d like to keep moving forward and focus on strategy and development and work my way into a long-term position where I can build a solid career and help FP to get bigger and bigger with more successful projects.
I spend a lot of time playing sports with my family and neighbors. Soccer is my life; I like even the bad moments. I watch it and play 2-3 times a week. I enjoy being surrounded by people and working as one team for the win, that’s why I like my job; being outside working with people and to be a part of the team to complete another successful project.
I grew up in Wyoming where I lived the cowboy lifestyle but with a rebellious personality; I knew I was meant to see the world and find my own way of life. I moved to Colorful Colorado in the summer of 2020 after graduating college, and I began working for FP in 2021.
I graduated with a double bachelor’s degree in Communications and Art from the University of Wyoming (Go Pokes!) where I combined my love for writing and creation. While I typically used my time in the art studio painting with oils and throwing clay on the wheel, my artistic interest gave me an edge in my communications classes through graphic design to create visually appealing forms of media.
Although FP is the start to my marketing career, I have had an interest in building, and how components fit together, for many years. While living in Wyoming, I worked at auto body and mechanic shops as an apprentice, where I developed a curiosity for craft and design. Because I understand the appeal to using your hands to build and create, I was able to combine my Communications and Art degrees, and my interest in building and mechanics, into one job at FP.
I come alive when the sun is out; I like to paint, eat, travel, learn more about auto body and mechanics, and any outdoor activities, especially paddle boarding, BBQing, boating, and camping.
I was born and raised in the great state of Texas. Growing up in Dallas and spending a lot of time on the lake in east Texas, it came natural to me that I enjoyed being outside more than busy life in the city. Life was filled with adventures to the lake, my buddy’s ranches, and a lot of golf. Soon after college, my wife, Sterling, and I decided to make the move to Denver and call Colorado home.
I had the honor to graduate from the greatest university, Texas A&M, with a BS in Construction Science and a minor in Business. During my time in College Station, I earned my OSHA-30 certification, along with several leadership accreditations through on-campus involvement. Gig ‘Em Ags!
I have loved the idea of working construction ever since I was a little kid, being able to see an idea on paper come out of the ground has always piqued my interest. I was able go right to work after graduation in the K-12 construction industry in the booming North Dallas area. Construction for me has always been about the impact the built environment is going to have on the communities, and the daily occupant of the jobs I have been honored to work on! Still fresh into construction industry, I am always eager to learn more and see construction advance with time!
In my free time, I love to snow ski and play a lot of golf – whenever and wherever (now being in Denver I miss the year-round golf season)! I also enjoy biking, trying new foods with my wife, and getting to spend quality time with our friends. I have had a great time trying hobbies here in Colorado, so I don’t think I will exhaust my options anytime soon!
I was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Colorado when I was 18 to attend college.
I left school for a couple of years to work as a ranch hand and graduated from CSU in 2021 with a degree in Construction Management.
After graduating from CSU, I initially worked for a large general contractor as a field engineer. I then went to try my hand at being a feedlot manager, and came back to the construction industry to work for FP.
In my free time like to ski, play tennis, hang out with family/friends, camp, and play video games.
I am a Colorado native and come from a large family, so it is little wonder that after getting married in September of 1999, I started a large family of my own.
After being hired on with Fransen Pittman in 1995, I started out as a Laborer then went through the carpentry apprenticeship, moved up from there to Carpenter, Foreman and then Senior Superintendent, which is my current position.
My family and I reside in Byers, Colorado, where our house and small hobby farm is located. On our farm, we raise chickens for eggs and cattle for beef and milk. The farm has been a good way to keep all 12 of my kids busy.
I was born and raised in Flowood, Mississippi. My high school sweetheart and I moved to Colorado right after graduating college to join the Fransen Pittman team. We quickly fell in love with the beautiful state.
I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Environmental Engineering
Prior to getting into construction, I served 6 years in the Air National Guard, where I was an air transportation hazmat inspector. I joined the Fransen Pittman team in 2017, and I have had the opportunity to be a part of many great projects and worked with a lot of great people. I am passionate about building and find so much value in the relationships built along the way. It amazes me how such a large team can come together to take all different kinds of materials and build a structure that benefits the community around it.
I grew up hunting, fishing, and love getting involved in anything outdoors. I also enjoy being involved in my church and serving the local community. My wife and I believe that our purpose on this earth is to serve others and, in everything we do, show others the love that Jesus Christ has so graciously shown us.
I was born in Iowa, but grew up in Wyoming where I enjoyed the great outdoors to the fullest! My family was constantly camping, fishing, boating, and enjoying the great outdoors. I left Wyoming for a brief stint in Georgia, and then moved to Ohio for a while, before coming to Colorado in 2001.
I started off my education and training by joining the Ohio National Guard and become a mortarman in the cavalry (HOA!). During my enlistment, I attended the University of Cincinnati (Go Bearcats!) where I received an associate degree in Civil Engineering Technology and a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management. During my time as a Construction Manager, I received training and certificates in green building (LLED), quality control (CQAT), and health care (ASHE). Later, as a Safety Director, I received training and certificates as an Associate Safety Professional (ASP), Certified Safety Professional (CSP), and Red Cross CPR Instructor.
I spent the first part of my career after school and the National Guard climbing the project management ladder, building schools and medical facilities. After spending several years on that track, I realized my true passion was safety and helping others. I started helping folks with safety and storm water in 2013 and have not looked back. I began work with FP in 2015 and have found that I can use all of my skills learned throughout my entire career as a safety and environmental professional.
The great outdoors is always a place you can find yourself and remember the important things in life; skiing, biking, hiking, and traveling are all fun healthy activities. One of the places I’m happiest is building and creating in my workshop.
Being born in Nebraska (and I do bleed Big Red through and through), I was raised in Windsor, CO since the age of four amongst lots of family and friends. I spent most of my life growing up here and still do spend much of my time living, playing, and just chillaxing with many of the same people. I am utterly amazed at how much the area has grown and changed over the years. I am always happy to share a story about the little, tiny town Windsor used to be, but I do enjoy seeing it grow. When I need a taste of tiny, I always back and visit extended family and friends in northeast NE.
I am a proud CSU Ram with a BS in Construction Management. I am OSHA certified, hold a Green Building Certificate from CUS and an ICC B1-Inspector license, as well as an alumni member of the 40 under 40 Award Class for my work as a small business owner and community contributor.
Construction has been my life! From framing houses for family companies at an early age, to working my way through school as a laborer and an intern for a GC, and owning two of my own companies in the industry, it is really all I’ve ever done. After my last job working in the inspection field as a division manager, I chose to come back full circle to the GC world where I currently work for FP in Windsor, CO, just five minutes from home. Being a 1st time father of a 2-year-old daughter, it was the best decision I could have made.
I love all sports and the competitive nature of it all, whether participating, coaching or watching. Music and comedy shows are a good source of entertainment as well. Golf is a favorite pastime these days. I also enjoy working out, preferably outdoors if possible, and I try to mix in a good day of fishing every now and then. Cap it all off with a cold beverage around a campfire somewhere in the mountains or by a big lake, telling tall tales from the past, present, and a hopeful future!
I am a full-blooded Coloradan, and I grew up in Westminster, CO. I graduated from Northglenn High School. Growing up, I always had a passion for math and building/doing things that allowed me to look back at quality finished product. This is what really lead me to construction from a very young age.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree in Construction management with a minor in Business Administration. This allowed me to bolster my love for math and the built environment in the best ways possible. During my tenure at Fransen Pittman, I have earned my LEED Green Accreditation and become a Quality Certified Technician.
As soon as I graduated from CSU in December of 2013, I started a six-month internship with Fransen Pittman, with a plan to go back to CSU for my master’s degree in Business. Three months into my internship, I realized I would never be able to find a place like Fransen Pittman again. From all the great people that work here, to the awesome/quality work we do and the relationships we cultivate, I would be crazy to leave. So, I asked to be brought on as a full-time Project Engineer. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
Being a life-long Coloradan, I take full advantage of everything Colorado has to offer. In the wintertime, I spend my weekends downhill skiing, as well as uphill skiing. In the summertime, you will find my wife and me (and soon my new son, Austin) hiking 14ers, road biking, enjoying a Rockies game, disc golfing, exploring all the awesome breweries, and soaking in every minute of the amazing Colorado weather. With all of my family now relocating outside of Colorado, we also find ourselves traveling to a bunch of fun places, such as Arizona, Michigan, Montana, and Texas. When we aren’t on the go, we are enjoying our new home in Castle Rock, doing all the fun things that come with purchasing personalizing, and babyproofing a new home.
I was born in Walnut Creek, California and lived there until I was three. Our family then moved to Chandler, Arizona following my dad’s career working for airlines. We then made our move as a family to Elizabeth, Colorado (just east of Parker) when I was a freshman in high school, where I met my future wife in high school. Our whole family has now made our final move to the great state of Texas.
After graduating high school, I started my college career at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins, pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. That pursuit only lasted my first year of school, until I decided to change my major and take my chances with Automotive Mechanics, which ultimately did not pan out either. At that point, I received some good advice from my future father-in-law, who suggested that I go to CSU to get a degree in Construction Management which, in hindsight, is what I should have started with because it would have saved me some time and a lot of money.
My first job in construction was with AMA Construction, a smaller GC who primarily worked for 1st Bank, building new banks and remodeling their older facilities. I started with this company as an intern during college and was hired on as a Superintendent when I graduated from CSU. After being at AMA for six years, I came to FP and started as a Project Engineer. Shortly thereafter, I became a Project Manager. In 2019, I took on the role as Project Executive to help grow and maintain our FP Team and culture, and to help track down new projects. As of Summer 2022, I have assumed the role as Vice President of the Dallas Fort Worth Region and have started our first Texas office in Grapevine!
I have always enjoyed working on and fixing cars/trucks-from diagnosing and fixing mechanical problems, to painting and full restoration of classic Porsches and Jeeps. A big part of the joy I get with my hobby is the ability to help people in my family, church, and friends with their car questions and needs.
I was originally born in Wichita, KS but moved to Colorado when I was two and I have been here ever since, so I am about as close to native as you can get.
I graduated from Colorado State University with a B.S. in Construction Management. Through my time at FP, I have been able to continue my education and training by attaining certification in CQAT and Advanced Storm Water certification.
After finishing school, I started my career with an owner developer building apartment complexes. After a couple years building apartments, I decided that it was not the market I was interested in and I sought out a commercial contractor where I could get the project experience and variety I was looking for, and through a mutual connection, I was able to find a home at FP. Through my time at FP, I have been able to rise through the ranks from Project Engineer to Project Manager, while getting to work on projects in the majority of the market sectors we serve.
I enjoy playing golf, cycling, fly fishing, camping trips, and international travel.
