Yellow excavator on a construction site during site clearing

A Special Milestone in the Mission

Colin was blessed with the opportunity to help his grade school, Bethany School in Glendale, Ohio, through a complete site overhaul as the campus transitioned from classrooms in cottages to state-of-the-art traditional school buildings. Knowing this was a signature moment in his career, Colin made sure to place the first full excavator bucket in the ground during site clearing for the multi-year, multi-phase project. He remained closely involved from preconstruction through execution, and opportunities like this continue to shape why HCC exists.
