Started with Beehive Brick & Stone: Co-founded in 1983
Favorite Beehive Project and Why: A custom-built private stone home in Utah County: The home owners were extremely particular about the style elements of their dream home. We worked closely with the usual team (general contractor, mason, architect, etc.); and as the stone supplier, our team was also joined by full-time onsite artisans (a stone carver and artist/sculptor). The teams worked unitedly, and transformed the owners vision of their dream home into a reality.

Favorite Beehive Project and Why: The Holladay fire station: The Mayor wanted this project to be a unique landmark for the city with a very specific feel and look. This project required an incredible amount of effort to research, gather, and present numerous samples which then had to be agreed upon by various individuals. The hard work paid off, and the reward was well worth it. This was a great experience which gave me the opportunity to solve challenges, and help visions become reality. This is truly what I enjoy most about my job.

Favorite Beehive Project and Why: A Parade of Homes project (including outdoor pizza oven): I had the opportunity to showcase our stone samples to the homeowner and builder. We came up with a stylish custom blend which has become a popular choice for everyone who has seen this beautiful home. To top it off, I had the opportunity to cook pizzas and smores in the pizza oven every night during the home show!

Started with Beehive Brick & Stone: July 2001
Favorite Beehive Project and Why: The construction of a local university building needing to match a neighboring building built in the late 1800s: We were able to research and provide a complimentary historic-looking brick to appear as if it were constructed out of hand-made brick from the late 1800s era. The university faculty approved our efforts, and our expertise helped preserve the look and feel of their beautiful, historic campus.

Specialized training: Business management and development
Started with Beehive Brick & Stone: 2007
Favorite Beehive Project and Why: A full-brick home in Draper, UT with rose full range wood mold brick:
Since I strongly believe masonry homes have the highest/longest lasting quality and beauty, it was exciting to help these homeowners find the perfect brick for their home. We visited brick projects up and down the Wasatch front for days, until we came upon the Holladay Fire station. The homeowners loved the brick used on the fire station, so we worked with the builder and placed the order. Their home turned out beautifully, and the clients were thrilled.
