From Dozers to Gold: Dave Turin on Mining, Engineering, and the Trades (Part 1)

In this episode of Construct-ive Conversations, I sit down with the renowned Dave Turin, also known as "Dozer Dave." With a rich background in civil engineering and a successful career in mining, Dave's journey from managing his family's rock quarry in Oregon to becoming a household name on the Discovery Channel is nothing short of inspiring. We explore his experiences on Gold Rush and its spinoffs, the challenges he faced, and the innovative technologies transforming the mining and construction industries today. Dave also emphasizes the importance of advocating for the trades and encouraging young people to pursue careers in these fields. Join us as we dive into a conversation filled with insights on resilience, leadership, and the evolving landscape of construction and mining.
