Born and raised in Mexico, Rafael came to the United States to pursue a better life for his family.
Hired as a piece worker in 2001, Rafael caught the attention of Ken Miks as a person who displayed the talent and hustle needed to go the distance in the construction industry. This led Ken to take an interest, and he began teaching him new things about the trade, as Rafael was eager to learn. In spite of a language barrier, things like layout, plating, and cutting stairs and roofs were picked up immediately by Rafael. Ken was also very impressed that Rafael was learning the English language so quickly. Rafael was fluent within 2 years. All of this hard work and determination on Rafael's part led to his promotion to Foreman in 2005. Since then Rafael has become a key factor in the success of our company, and he continues to grow in his knowledge and expertise as the company expands.
Married to his beloved wife Norma for sixteen years, they have two children, Karina and Estevan, whom they enjoy spending time with on days off.
