What S. M. Wilson's summer interns are learning to do? During a simulated bid day, our Pre-Construction and Estimating Team separated the interns into two groups and took them through the bid process for a future middle school project. After working through the process, each intern gave their estimated bid. Project Engineering Intern Ciarrah Bell was the closest to the actual bid amount. Practicing what they are learning! #SMWBeyondTheBuild #summerinterns #constructionstl #preconstruction #constructionbids

“It only took one trip outside the US for me to realize that being in a new city for the first time was like riding a roller coaster blindfolded—terrifying and thrilling. The travel bug bit me back in the summer of 2006 when I joined a study abroad program with Arizona State University (ASU) and bopped around the United Kingdom like an excited kid (London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, to be precise). It was as if someone had handed me a pair of glasses and said, "Here, see the world beyond your backyard!" Enter Natalie, my wife, and fellow travel junkie. She had her own study abroad escapade with ASU, which whisked her away to the land down under—Sydney, Australia. Together, we're a pair of globetrotters chasing adventure and occasionally losing our luggage. We've racked up fond memories in places like Barcelona (where we discovered the art of tapas overindulgence), Switzerland (chocolate and cheese, anyone?), Paris (France, not Texas), Prague (a fairytale city with a beer problem), Lisbon (where we danced the night away), and recently, the Bahamas (rum, sun, and sand in uncomfortable places). Next on our hit list are Japan and Egypt. We can't wait to eat our way through Tokyo and revel in the wonder of the pyramids. Traveling has also given me a newfound appreciation for home. Sometimes, I daydream about a future where we will spend half the year in Spain once our two boys have flown the coop. Imagine siestas and tapas as a regular part of life. But for now, I'll keep exploring and collecting stories—the world is too big to stay in one place.” Patrick Aylesworth is a Director of Operations and has been with S. M. Wilson for six years. "We are Wilson" showcases each team member in their own words and describes who they are outside of work. #SMWBeyondTheBuild #WeAreWilson #globetrotters #traveladdicts #travelbug

All good things must come to an end! The S. M. Wilson & Co. Summer Sand Volleyball team ended its season this week at Wave Taco downtown. While everyone played outstanding, this week's shout-out goes to summer interns Sam Gentges and Grant Millsap for stepping up and providing the opposing team with extra team members. Our team finished the season 6-18. Thanks to all those who came out and supported the team! #SMWBeyondTheBuild #sandvolleyball #summerinterns #teambuilding #GoSMWilson
