Shannon Spotlight: New Site Supervisor for CCA Harrisburg
Q: Can you tell us a little about your background and experience in construction?
A: For the past six years, I’ve traveled, managing projects from initial takeoff meetings through final occupancy. My experience includes data centers, hotels, fast-food restaurants, and outpatient centers across the U.S.
Q: What drew you to Shannon Construction?
A: During the interview process, I was impressed by Shannon’s leadership and management style. I was also drawn to the types of projects the company takes on – especially those that impact future generations. Helping create spaces for education is an important and meaningful part of our industry.
Q: What excites you most about working on the CCA Harrisburg project?
A: Building a strong foundation for students’ education is both worthwhile and rewarding. Knowing our work directly supports kids’ ability to learn makes the project especially fulfilling.
Q: How would you describe your approach to leading and coordinating on site?
A: My leadership style is influenced by the older generation and my military background. I believe challenges on a job site are inevitable, but how we respond to them defines us as leaders. I never ask anyone to do something I wouldn’t do myself. If issues arise, I prefer to handle them privately and respectfully, ensuring that problems are addressed without disrupting morale.
Q: Construction projects always bring surprises. How do you handle challenges when they come up?
A: I believe the best solutions come from listening first. Every team member has valuable insight, and sometimes the best idea comes from the most unexpected place. By gathering input and making collective decisions, we can adapt to unforeseen issues and move forward productively.
Q: What do you enjoy most about being in this industry?
A: I love the constant progress. No matter what stage of the project we’re in, each day brings visible change. Watching different trades come together and transform a vision into reality from start to finish is truly fascinating.
Q: What are you most looking forward to as part of the Shannon team?
A: I’m excited to grow within the company and be part of a team where everyone works together selflessly to get the job done. That kind of culture is rare in this industry, and I’m proud to be part of it. I look forward to contributing to future projects and being part of Shannon’s continued success.
Q: What do you like to do outside of work?
A: I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, golfing with my brother, and taking trips to our cabin in West Virginia. During football season, you’ll find me cheering on the Florida State Seminoles and the Minnesota Vikings every weekend.
