Q&A with Matt

How long have you been with Rapids?

Since April 2018.

What was your favorite project? Why?

Your Pie in Marion, IA. We got to do equipment, millwork and furniture on this project and it turned out very well.

What was your most challenging project? Why?

Grand Living in Des Moines. It was the first project we did a large scale residential appliance package where we supplied and installed all of the appliances for the resident apartments so it was a very new experience that came with many new challenges.

What was your solution?

Utilized all of our internal resources and spent a lot of time on site managing our way through getting properly delivered and installed.

Name some of your previous projects.

Grand Living in Georgetown, TX, Top Dawg Tavern in Jacksonville, FL, Lost Island Theme Park in Waterloo, IA, Dunn Brothers Coffee in Cedar Rapids, IA and BAE in Cedar Rapids, IA

What do you like to do on a Sunday afternoon?

Depends on the season, in the fall I like to sit and watch football all day. The rest of the year I just like to find something fun to do with my family.

If we gave you next week off, what would you do with your time?

I would start and finish some of those projects around the house that I have been meaning to do.

What was your last “oh my god this is perfect” meal?

The Walleye at the MN Valley Country Club during the Toby Tournament Fundraising event.

What is your best dish?

My wife says I make the best omelets.
