CA Team VolunteersMembers of United Construction’s Northern California office joined together with the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services to help provide people in need with clothing, blankets and household items. It was a heartwarming experience to help families in our community access provisions, especially as we head into the cold winter months.

Volunteering supports an important aspect of our Build United philosophy in giving back to the communities where we live and work. United Construction is honored to support the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and their mission to assist those in need by alleviating their immediate pain and problems and moving them toward self-sufficiency and financial independence.

United Construction welcomes David WiseUnited Construction welcomes David Wise 2014 Winter Olympic Gold Medalist and Reno hometown hero, David Wise, visited the United Construction office to share stories about his journey to the top of the podium in Sochi.

Among the many competitive experiences he talked about, a major take away was what lead to the turning point in his career. David attributed his success to focusing on family, specifically his wife and daughter, maintaining a work-life balance, and the importance of both physical and mental preparation for competition.

A big thank you to David for spending a very inspiring afternoon with the United Construction team. We look forward to seeing you on the podium again in the years to come!
