Fabien has helped complete difficult, equipment-intensive projects safely, ahead of schedule, and under budget. He has been part of the construction and rehabilitation of several bridges. He has had to oversee bridge deck placement, which included understanding of concrete paving equipment. “His ability to choreograph the safe and productive operation of equipment, manpower, and material on a daily basis sets him apart,” says owner Daniel Kell.

Education: Bachelor’s degree, Temple University.

Professional accomplishments: His father’s company won a multimillion project, but before the second phase began, his father died of cancer. Rather than abandon it, Fabien completed the project by taking on the roles of superintendent and project manager.

Off the clock: Cycling.

Extracurricular: A childhood cancer survivor, Fabien participates in a late effects study on the potential long-term side effects of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

Favorite vacations: Summer vacation on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
