Meet Jared Ricker
H&W VP - Project Management
- Alma Mater
- Sam Houston State University
- Joined H&W
- 2008
- How did you become interested in a career in construction?
- I actually went to SHSU for their criminal justice program and changed my major to construction management. I have always worked with my hands and enjoyed problem solving. In construction, no two projects are identical and you never know what you're going to build next.
- What is your favorite thing about what you do?
- I love the opportunity to leave things better than when we found them. Whether that means building a new project, assisting with the design, a remodel or training personnel, I enjoy finding more efficient ways of doing things and improving processes.
- What advice would you give someone who is just starting their career?
- Do what you say you are going to do. Make personal connections and treat everyone you interact with honestly and fairly as you would want to be treated.
