Dave Wilson is a familiar face to TAPPA conference attendees and his customers across Texas and beyond. In his own words, “I have thoroughly enjoy being involved with TAPPA and the relationships and networking its provided me throughout the last several years. I’ve been in the AEC industry for over three decades, and this association continues to be one of the best for me. When I’m not overseeing projects at CORE Construction, you can find me dirt biking all over Texas, or on mission trips throughout the world serving communities who need it most. I’m married to the love of my life and have enjoyed watching my children become young adults! You’ll rarely ever hear me complain, as I’m an easy-going guy who ultimately just wants to provide our CORE clients with exceptional service. If we haven’t met yet, I look forward to bumping into you at a TAPPA event soon.”
