Early in his life, Gregory Finkle tasted the pleasure of accomplishing something and getting paid for it. At 14 years old, he was already ambitious and a hard worker; he started helping in an extermination company, handling an eighty-pound hammer drilling holes in a basement. Encouraged by his parents and incentivized by his desire to accomplish more, the habit of being rewarded for his job accompanied him through college as well. After becoming a civil engineer, his desire to consistently achieve more, faith, and hard-working mindset helped him go from Engineer to Operations Manager in his first job and start his own company. Gregory Finkle is the Principal at Trinity Subsurface Engineering, LLC. He holds a BSCE in Civil Engineering from the University of Delaware and a Professional Engineer Certificate from the Delaware Association of Professional Engineers. Gregory is also part of the Church Leadership at the Gateway Community Church; he is a loving husband and father of three kids, with one more already on the way. In this episode, we talk about Gregory's journey into the construction industry, his dreams as a kid, faith, and the positive mindset that helped him succeed. Gregory shared details of his first job at Master Locators, where he learned the basics of being on the field as an engineer first and the secrets of being an operations manager later. We also talk about his passions, future goals, and what he still wants to accomplish with Trinity. Some Questions I Ask:You started working at 14 years old at an extermination company.
