He recently completed the 8 th & Main (Block E) project in Moorhead, solving the unique challenges of the site; a small site, on a busy street, and the shape of the building. He graduated from MSUM in the spring of 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management and has been working for Gehrtz Construction since.
