In today’s episode, we sit down with Michael Sanderson, engineer and CEO, whose career has been shaped by family legacy, problem-solving, and intentional leadership. Michael shares his journey returning to the family business, starting at the bottom, and eventually buying the company with partners in 2002.
We discuss his approach to leadership, the company’s breakthrough with the Shiloh Crossing project, and strategic growth through mergers, acquisitions, and government contracting. Central to his philosophy is a culture-first mindset—investing in people, building strong systems, and balancing shared values with local office autonomy.
This episode is about more than business growth—it’s about legacy, leadership, and building a lasting company culture.
