RB+B recognizes that the most creative and important assets we have are our staff! Each year our co-workers commit to the firm creates an occasion to be celebrated; but at five-year milestones, we take a little extra time to check in with our talented team members and celebrate their major accomplishments, while getting their take on what’s important moving into the future.

Five Minutes with David:

What has been your proudest moment/accomplishment at RB+B? 

I enjoy being a part of the many small, incremental changes that have taken place over the years to how we operate and how we have developed and defined our culture at RB+B.

Describe a funny moment during a project.

I was “that guy” who accidentally stepped in the wet concrete pad behind The Melting Pot restaurant during CA.

Why do you enjoy working at RB+B?

I enjoy working alongside the amazing people that surround me here.

Tell us about a goal you have for the next five years.

I should really start taking retirement planning more seriously.

What do you like to do outside of work hours?

Cooking, walking, bike riding and traveling with my wife. Getting together with friends around the fire pit.

What drew you to RB+B? Why have you stayed?     

After graduation I moved back to Colorado where my “wife to be” was established and I began working my way thru the yellow pages. I ended up with two local offers. George offered design opportunities in a lager firm that did more significant work than the other one. I stayed because I grew into the family here. The firm always had a respected reputation locally and that reputation spread throughout the state and nation, but it is the relationships with the people here that give me no desire to be anywhere else.    

Do you have a hidden talent?   

I can weld, but the word “talent” sounds like you have to be good at it. I am not.

If you could share a piece of advice with your 20-year old self/30-year old self, what would it be? 

Relax and roll with it. Don’t be afraid of change. Understand that you are imperfect and so are the people around you. Give people credit for the many ways that they help you and show them the grace and mercy that you like them to show you.
