Over the years, Kelsey has witnessed Dave’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation in every concrete creation. As she’s heard Dave repeatedly say, “We don’t have to do this, but it creates a better product.” It’s an expression that perfectly encapsulates Dave’s dedication to exceeding expectations.
Dave consistently goes above and beyond, investing extra time and materials to ensure a superior final product for each client. His ability to “think outside the box” and transform client visions into reality is astonishing to Kelsey. He effortlessly translates client ideas and desires into tangible, beautiful, concrete forms. Clients often come to Dave with a basic concept and a request to “make it more like this,” and he consistently delivers.
A relentless pursuit of improvement drives Dave’s creative process. If he discovers a better technique, he’s compelled to refine his process, ensuring the end cement product is the best. His passion is evident in every step.
In Dave’s own words, “It’s beautiful to see. I drive through Tucson and see projects I’ve done 20 years ago. People drive their cars on my work every single day, and the product still looks just as beautiful as the day I created it. And better yet, I’ve discovered even better ways to work with cement because, for me, cement is continuously evolving.”
