Sam's interest in construction began while still in high school, working on a paving crew after school and running heavy equipment on a family farm. He has learned the grading and paving business from the ground up. In 1985 Sam moved to Northern California and started working for a local grading and paving company. In 1990 Sam was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, while the disease can be debilitating it did not stop Sam and his love of construction. He went back to school where he applied his field knowledge, learning estimating and project management. In 1996 Sam became the chief estimator and project manager for a successful grading and paving company. With the support of his wife Melody and his four children he decided to start his own company "Pacific Coast General Engineering, Inc." with his partner and longtime friend Eric Kavert.
