Top 20 Under 40

In this issue of Colorado Construction, we highlight, for the first time, 20 individuals under the age of 40 who represent the best of the best in their construction and design careers and what they have given back to the industry and their communities.

Peers, co-workers and managers nominated more than 40 people from the Colorado construction and design industries. A panel of six judges then selected the Top 20 based on criteria that included: achievement of or progress toward industry certifications, including professional licensure or LEED AP; community service; industry involvement; and contribution to creating or building landmark Colorado projects. The 2009 winners are presented in the following pages in alphabetical order, not as a ranked list.

If you have any question on the nominations process or want to be included in next year’s competition, contact Editor Melissa Leslie at melissa_leslie@mcgraw-hill.com or 303-584-6724.
