Experience
Don leads through empowering people to be self-starters — resulting in their individual ownership and accountability. Don takes great pride in making sure that every employee at DEW understands how important their role is to the success of every project and the company.
Throughout his 45 plus years in the construction industry, Don has been involved with a diverse portfolio of successfully completed projects, totaling over $2 billion. Don’s unique understanding of the entire construction delivery process is an asset that continues to greatly benefit DEW. He is particularly adept at finding creative solutions to the individual challenges of any given project.
Don’s first exposure to the construction industry was working at a lumber yard during his high school years. Since that time, he has performed every position in the construction industry, including laborer, carpenter, supervisor, estimator, project manager, vice president of business development, president, and currently CEO.
