CEO had the opportunity to visit Pfund Construction with owners Matt and Kristen Pfund at their temporary office space in Wood River. What started as a high school side hustle for Matt has grown into a thriving, family-owned design-build company —proving what passion, grit, and consistency can create over time.

Pfund Construction specializes in giving old buildings new life, reimagining spaces where people live, work, and gather. Their work is a powerful example of how vision and creativity can transform not just buildings, but entire communities.
Matt and Kristen shared valuable insight with our students, emphasizing that:

🔨 Your reputation and integrity are everything
🤝 Relationships matter
🏗️ No job is beneath you—be willing to start from the ground up
🔩 Surround yourself with a strong team—you don’t have to know it all
🚜 Mistakes will happen—learn from them and keep moving forward
❤️ If you love what you do, success will follow

Beyond their business, the Pfund family continues to make a lasting impact on our community. From supporting CEO as investors to opening their space at The Ink House and Kristen’s role as a board member and mentor, their commitment to giving back is unmatched.

Matt, Kristen, and the entire Pfund team (including their canine fur babies 🐶)—thank you for your time, wisdom, and continued support of our students and program!
