Title: President
Company: First Capital Engineering

What do you do? I am responsible for directing our teams of surveyors, engineers and architects. Also, I provide engineering recommendations to private- and public-sector clients.

What do you think are the keys to success? Success is a long-term journey. The key is to work at something you really enjoy doing. I have always enjoyed problem-solv ing, and that is why I love civil engineering.

Name some of your key successes: A critical breakthrough in building my rela tionships with people in York County was my involvement in the running community. I also became involved with the Engineering Society of York and the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers, where I met many motivated and generous people. My involvement with people at the YMCA enabled me to meet people who have helped me and my family. These relationships have allowed me to grow personally as well as to network in the York community.

Who were your mentors? My grandmother and grandfather owned a grocery store and a coal mine. Through them, I learned how to be a people person. My father owned a concrete plant. He helped teach me the fundamentals of business. Lastly, the many teachers and coaches I had during my 12-plus years of Catholic education taught me Christian values.

Who are your family members? My wife of 14 years, Ann; my daughter Kristen, who is an eighth-grade student at York Catholic High School; and twins Angela and John, who are fifth-grade students at St. Patrick School.

What management books would you recommend? "What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School" by Mark H. McCormack. "In Search of Excellence: A Lesson from America's Best-Run Companies" by Thomas Peters. "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" by Lance Armstrong.
