C. Jacob Brown

C. Jacob Brown is a sophomore Building Construction student at Virginia Tech. In the summer of 2008, he interned with Harrod & Associates Constructors, a general contractor in Raleigh, NC. His main duties included assisting estimators with bids, distributing plans and specs to subcontractors, and attending pre-bid and pre-construction meetings. He hopes to draw on his experience and apply it to this course.
