Never throw away something with your right hand that you cannot pull back with your left.

Don Hemenover started sweeping floors and nailing off rock lath for the plasterers when he was 13-years old.  He spent many summers working for his dad’s (George Hemenover) construction company. He finally left the area and received a civil engineering degree from the University of Missouri at Rolla.  After college he was selected to join the Peace Corps and spent two years building infrastructure in the Fijian Islands.

Upon arriving back home he met his future wife Claudette and joined his father in the construction business.  Committed to growing the business of building and remodeling homes in the area he found time to serve on numerous Chamber of Commerce boards, locals hospital boards, and held a number of local and state positions with the National Homebuilders Association.

Time away from the business was spent with his four children Kendra, Matthew, Kyle and Luke attending, coaching, and spectating all the various activities.  He still enjoys getting up every morning to meet and greet with the team members before they head out to the job sites, traveling with friends, and spending time with his grand children and family.
