I love being a part of such a strong team of people who share my values and make work fun. What I enjoy most about my job, though, is building relationships with our clients. I love it when clients come to us with an idea, and we help them through the design, budget planning and building process. That's a really rewarding experience.

I also like the variety of work that we do in a variety of places. I have been able to travel and work everywhere from Kansas to Michigan to the Carolinas, Louisiana and everywhere in-between.

The people of Vogts Construction are amazing. Everyone works hard and is committed to creating a customer-first approach to the building process, which is important to me. My job satisfaction comes from the relationships that I build with my clients during the construction process and the feeling of accomplishment you get at the end when you've helped them accomplish their vision. There's nothing better.
