Mr. Luis De La Cruz founded his company, Andale construction back in 2006 after years of working his way up the construction food chain. He remembers while working as a laborer that people would tell him to hurry up saying “An-da-le, an-da-le” and for that reason decided that if he ever opened a company it would be called Andale construction because it was like his second name. Fast forward to 2012 and his 20-person person lands an $80M federal contract with a JV/MPP partner Sundt construction. In his professional life I’ve strived to be one who can apply and support the TEAM concept. TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More)

This is a heartfelt story where Mr. Cruz talks about being a former Marine to founding the company of his dreams. Today he is working on expanding programs and access for those underserved and people from his community.
