Anthony Mendoza

Project Manager

Anthony was inspired to pursue the profession during high school after reading numerous books and magazines about land planning and community development – both of which are still great passions of his today. After graduating from the University of California, Davis in 2001, he joined the firm following a career in the design-build industry which gave him invaluable experience in the construction process, building materials and applications. This developed his eye for detail in the production and technical aspects of construction documents and deepened his understanding of the diverse complexities of construction. In his spare time, Anthony enjoys being active outdoors, playing music, and exploring the islands of French Polynesia and the South Pacific.
