Words to live by:
There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he does not mind who gets the credit.
VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS, WELTY CONSTRUCTION
Bruce knows what it means to get your hands dirty on a jobsite. He’s not only worked in the construction industry for the past 39 years – he was raised in the trades as a carpenter and bricklayer. As Welty’s Vice President of Operations, he is recognized as a leader and coach. He oversees the organization, scheduling, cost control and implementation of all projects, including working closely with each project team to coordinate all construction services.
It gives me great satisfaction to pass on all the lessons I’ve learned in our business to the next generation. These lessons cannot be learned in any school or read in any book.
The ones that never happen.
When I was very young, my father was a builder. I walked into his office, and he had a plaque on his wall that read: “I had no shoes and I complained, until I met a man who had no feet.” That has stuck with me my whole life.
It was actually while volunteering to help build an ADA bathroom for a wounded warrior – the gentleman had no legs. Seeing how happy he was that he could help himself again is a feeling I’ll never forget.
