Merit Construction is a general contractor and construction manager headquartered in Knoxville, TN, and primarily focused on commercial, institutional, and industrial construction. Buddy shares his journey from pre-med to civil engineering and how his struggles with the rigors of the engineering curriculum taught him a valuable lesson about how being willing to ask for help and to help others in return is a powerful way to build lasting relationships.   In our leadership segment, Mr. Heins discusses how community involvement opens doors to networking and leadership growth. Finally, Buddy shares a wealth of advice for aspiring leaders that he boiled down to:  be prepared, be persistent, be punctual, be patient.
