In honor of Veterans Day, we sat down with our CEO, David Frazier, to reflect on his time in the U.S. Navy and how that experience continues to influence his leadership today.

David graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and went on to serve 13 years in the Navy, including nine years on active duty and four years in the Reserves. His time as a Naval Aviator shaped the way he approaches challenges and leads others. Many of those lessons have carried over into his career in construction and helped establish the foundation of The Hardaway Way.

Throughout the interview, David discusses the similarities between military service and the construction industry. He also shares what he believes veterans bring to the workplace and why their contributions deserve recognition beyond Veterans Day.

At Hardaway, we're proud to be a veteran-owned company and even prouder of the people who make up our team. The experience our veterans bring to their roles continues to make a meaningful impact on the work we do.
