A Strong Emphasis on Communication and Teamwork?

Capitol’s culture of openness and respect encourages collaboration and empowers individuals to contribute at all levels.

Staying Motivated with Laughter?

Despite the pressures of his role, Daniel has found that laughter helps him stay balanced. “Laughter keeps me grounded,” he shares. Offsite, he enjoys spending time with his family, relaxing on his hobby farm, and pursuing hobbies that refresh him and help maintain his positive outlook.

Lifelong Learning and Personal Growth?

Daniel values the opportunity to learn from others in the industry, staying current through his relationships with colleagues and contractors. "Talking with others keeps me sharp and always learning," he says. He also credits his family with helping him stay adaptable and grounded as he navigates both personal and professional growth.

For Daniel, success is about more than delivering on projects—it’s about building relationships, showing respect, and helping others. His guiding principle, "It doesn’t cost anything to smile and show respect," reflects his commitment to making a positive difference, both in his work and in the lives of those around him.
