"I guess you could say masonry is in my blood. When I started 23 years ago, my father and four uncles worked for C.D. Smith. If you’ve been here long enough, you know the culture and story of C.D. Smith Construction. With such a great group of lead men, the opportunities to learn the trades are endless. When I came to C.D. Smith just a day out of high school, I never thought I would be where I am today. It’s a great feeling." - Dana Wagner, Mason Foreman

Scott Krings | "Three generations of my family have or continue to work here. My father provided for our family through his career at C.D. Smith and my nearly 20 years here is providing for mine. There are too many similar examples to count where families have 3rd, 4th or even 5th generation C.D. Smith employees. I think that is unique to our company and creates a very strong group of core employees."
