Sheldon, PMP

Project Manager

Meet Sheldon – our unofficial project manager and one of three baby tortoises in the office. Like any good civil engineer, Sheldon takes life one calculated step at a time, never rushing but always making steady progress toward the finish line. He’s a master of surveying his surroundings, prefers solid ground under his feet, and believes in building things to last—especially his cozy little shell. On breaks, you’ll find him expertly moving dirt or digging with purpose, proving that site grading isn’t just for humans. Whether it’s designing drainage or finding the perfect sunbeam, Sheldon reminds us that in construction, slow and steady really does win the race.
