Join me, Kelly Brothers, for a comprehensive exploration of family legacy and construction prowess with Allison Otto, CEO of Otto Construction, a cornerstone of our regional development. Listen in as Allison unveils the storied history of her family's business, beginning with her grandfather's post-war entrepreneurial spirit, and how it has blossomed into a company that's not just constructing buildings but forging enduring community relationships. The anecdotes of growth, from the Sacramento Zoo to Fairytale Town, serve as testaments to the intertwining of familial dedication and societal contributions. We'll venture behind the scenes of the construction industry with Allison, who shares her ascent from Director of Marketing to CEO, providing an insider's view of the industry's evolution. Our dialogue highlights the hurdles and triumphs for women in this traditionally male-dominated field, emphasizing the significance of educational pathways like the construction management certificate from UC Davis. Allison's passion for her work is palpable as she details the company's involvement in landmark projects, such as Sacramento International Airport's new parking garage, reinforcing the pivotal role Otto Construction plays in shaping public spaces. We wrap the stories with a discussion on the invaluable role of trade careers and the economic tapestry they weave within our communities. We celebrate the dignity of manual labor, challenging preconceptions and underscoring the opportunities for growth and entrepreneurship within the trades. Allison's personal reflection on the responsibility of leading a company that underpins many families' livelihoods, along with her contributions to the urban renaissance of Sacramento, brings home the profound impact of the construction industry on local development and the fabric of city life.
