Congratulations to Griffin Souder, Recipient of the Donald V. Brown, Sr. Memorial Scholarship

“During my internship, I enjoyed spending every week learning something about the mechanical industry, or learning the process of what a mechanical contractor does and their role in a project. I also enjoyed the people I was able to work with. They were great to ask questions about anything I did not know, and they were really easy to work with.

Following graduation, I signed on with P1 Construction as an Entry Estimator. I am blessed to have the opportunity to pursue the role I wanted. I learned so much from being part of my MCA Student Chapter at Pittsburg State University. I think the competition is a great learning tool to gain knowledge about the construction industry as a whole. There is a lot of information that you have to provide that both mechanical contractors and general contractors do in the real world. In the future, I’d also like to participate with the MCA KC Youth Professional Committee.”

MCAA and the John R. Gentille Foundation congratulate Griffin on this prestigious scholarship and thank D.V. Brown and Associates, Inc. for their commitment to supporting students interested in pursuing a career in the mechanical contracting industry.
