Shelby Gustafson
Director of Business Development - Denver
“As an elementary school student on a “Day in Denver” field trip, I wandered the streets, stunned by the amazing places we visited. That day, I decided that was who I wanted to be – the person behind those creations.”
It wasn’t until many years later when I joined the AEC industry, that I truly understood how many people must come together to create those amazing places.
