The construction industry is always in constant change, keeping pace with new technologies, materials, resources, and competition. Al’s ability to see through all of the “noise” and give real time advice has proven to be a significant asset. His authentic, real world approach has been a key part of transitioning our next level of leadership group from managers to leaders. On a personal note, Al is always available for a candid conversation and provides relevant and trusted advice on the most difficult topics.
John Schneider
President | Consolidated Construction Inc.
Al is the real deal. Why do I say this, because while he is well read regarding the latest leadership theory, he couples that with years of knowledge from the actual doing of the hard work that was required to play an instrumental role at the Executive level of a highly regarded firm. Through it all, Al has remained a man of humility who engages the people he works with, and inspires them to be a better version of themselves. Most importantly, his coaching and facilitating of our people has created a healthier, more productive team.

Al has a proven track record of career success, however; it is his passion to help others that makes working with him so authentic, not his résumé.
