Bio
Michael Monce
I have known Bruce Kravis for the past 18 months while he has worked as an Assistant Preconstruction Manager during the preconstruction of the $8.5M, 45,000sf A-Wing Annex at the Environmental Protection Agency, RTP Campus. He quickly became a viable team member that contributed greatly to our ongoing successful project. I have been impressed by both Bruce's knowledge of the public construction sector and his use of field experiences to provide better estimates. His experiences have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with both our client and our construction and design team. Bruce possesses the ambitious attitude that mends well with any team. His ability to remain work long hard hours during demanding periods proves his ability to work well under pressure.

Serving in the Marine Corps alongside Staff Sergeant Kravis was a distinct honor. His intellectual horsepower, integrity, and physical fitness commanded respect throughout his career. Courageous as a leader of Marines, Staff Sergeant Kravis excelled at building effective teams and upholding the highest traditions of Marine Corps values. I always look upon our time in service with great fondness. Staff Sergeant Kravis epitomized what is best about a Marine's character.
