Josh D.

Superintendent

Hospitality means creating a culture on the jobsite that makes people enjoy coming to work. It means providing experiences to everyone we work with that make them want to work with us repeatedly.

I’ve always been drawn to work where I can see real progress and be part of building something from the ground up. Early in my career, while working as a pre-apprentice electrician on roadway projects, I discovered a passion for construction that pushed me to pursue it long-term. Having the opportunity to spend a few years on the project management side of the industry gave me a strong foundation in planning, coordination, and big-picture thinking before transitioning into field supervision.

I joined the Gardner team in 2021 and now work as a superintendent, where I enjoy being involved in every phase of a project. My experience in both the office and the field helps me bridge communication between teams and keep work moving efficiently on site. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on large, complex projects, including a data-center conversion in downtown Minneapolis.

Outside of work, that same drive carries into my personal life. I enjoy working on cars, motorcycles, and home projects, along with hunting, fishing, and archery.
