With the smell of sawn wood in the air, fresh joint compound on the drywall and the feel of a framing hammer in his hand Ronnie Mesa grew up on the job site of his father’s custom home construction business. There he learned from that master carpenter the patience of the build, the vision of the end product and the foresight of next steps. He was taught the strength of structure, the economy and use of space and the appreciation for the final form.
