How did you get into construction technology?

Working for general contractor Education Realty Trust (acquired by Greystar) through Bellhops I managed an onsite labor team across 8 sites during a major $450M, 5 phase development while an undergrad. It would have never been completed on schedule without technology. The App and a built-in SMS messaging system used to fill jobs and coordinate laborers’ schedules and time keep hours made all the difference. I got an email from the COO describing my team’s work as “f*****g incredible” to close out on such a tight deadline. I saved that email, it took me a year later to realize what a big deal that accomplishment was and the part technology played in it.

Feel like this is standard for working with a technology company and with a remote team. An extra monitor, especially a portable one. It’s helpful for taking notes during meetings and still actively participating. The lakeview is nice to have during meetings as well 🙂

Where did you grow up at?

All around the Atlanta area, not just one spot.

What was your first job?

Youth Soccer Ref when I was 12, I made $8 a game and used that paycheck to open my first bank account. That’s when I learned about compounding interest and led to my interest in financials and investing.
