Matt Stovall
Matt Stovall’s childhood aspiration was to be a doctor. He wanted to help people. Little did he know then, that his future would involve helping people, but in a very different way. “I was in university to become a doctor, but in my second year, I realized it wasn’t a dream I wanted bad enough,” he said. “Instead, I found myself wanting to get back to the worksite every summer to build stuff.”
Before and during university, Matt worked on a commercial construction site and he really enjoyed his work.
