Tina's husband. Perrin serves as
operations manager and estimator,
and Anthony is the firm's field proj-
ect manager and safety coordinator,
in addition to being its equipment
manager.
"Communication is important,"
Tina says. "It's not just one of us, it's
all of us. I've brought together guys I
can trust," including superintendents
Cesar Fonseca and Chris Cowie. DE
has six full crews, plus some spe-
cialty teams for saw cutting and joint
sealing. "My guys don't say, 'that's

can't praise the people in my com-
