and Ron Nussbaum talk about what it takes to be a championing networker and the
value in building relationships with surrounding industries.

Chris’s Bio
Chris is the Founder of the CCC and launched the 1st Chapter
in 2019 in Atlanta, GA. He formerly
served the commercial real estate development industry as Director of
Acquisitions at The Montalto Group, formerly served the commercial construction
industry at the Director level of Cooper & Company General Contractors, and
also gained facility management experience as a Department Manager of Lone
Rover Construction.
Chris presently sits on the Executive Board of Directors for
EV Hotel, on the Board of Directors for LAI (Lambda Alpha International) Land
Economics Society in Atlanta. He
currently employs (6) interns to assist him in new outreach efforts related to
CCC business development.
He has been involved in the successful brokerage &
development transactions under the role of “consultant” for multifamily,
industrial, office and retail asset classes.
Him and his wife own and operate a short-term residential real estate
vacation rental business, Stargazer Hideaway Rentals. Chris has also made investments into
multifamily syndications as an Limited Partner.
Chris gained experience working on behalf of BOMA (Building
Owners & Managers Association) where he first gained an understanding as to
the inner-workings of a successful association, and utilized this experience in
order to formulate the CCC.
Chris formerly served 501c3 non-profit charities in the
capacity of Board of Directors Member for Mentor Me North Forsyth to mentor
young men and women in the community where he was raised, and as Vice President
of Hands Across Atlanta 501c3 to assist the less-fortunate homeless population
in Atlanta.
He received his undergraduate degree from Georgia Southern
University and an MBA from University of The Rockies. He is a fitness enthusiast, and is an avid
supporter of United States veterans.
Chris believes that you’re not truly doing what you love, and
cannot be the best at what you do, until you find the thing in life that makes
you excited to wake up in the morning and you fall asleep thinking about at
night; for Chris this is the ability to serve others through the CCC by
assisting professionals to establish new relationships, uplifting them in their
careers, and improving their quality of life.

June 12, 2023 Construction Champions Podcast 38 Rob Baughman – The Impact Of Handing The Job Off Right
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Rob
Baughman and Ron Nussbaum talk about handing the job off and the mindset it
takes to work on this every day. How do we pull others up around us or let
others pull us up?

Rob’s Bio
“Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit…” are
popular lyrics that sum up Rob Baughman’s beginnings in the early 1970s. The
oldest of four children, Rob learned his work ethic early, watching his dad
labor tirelessly as a handyman to support their family in the inner city. Rob
joined the workforce at a young age, delivering papers before dawn
everyday—sometimes in several feet of snow—striving to please his customers.
At age 19, Rob married his high school sweetheart and moved
to Tennessee where the couple raised four children before Taira contracted
breast cancer in 2010. Rob took care of his wife and his children while working
three jobs and going to school full-time to earn his business degree. Taira graduated to Heaven in 2013.
Drawing from his experience in construction, customer service
and sales, Rob became a project manager for a Nashville-area contracting firm
soon after marrying his new-found love, Joy. One high point of Rob’s career
thus far has been his work on HGTV. Rob worked on multiple episodes of Listed
Sisters, Property Brothers: Buying And Selling, as well as the Scott Brothers’
production, Making It Home (2021).

June 08, 2023 Construction Champions Podcast 37 Kolton Myers – Building Referrals Through Integrity and Relationships
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Kolton
Myers and Ron Nussbaum talk about building a 7-figure business from referrals!
Kolton has mastered the action it takes and the follow-up needed to build high-level relationships with those in the industry and today he tells you what it
takes.

Kolton’s Bio
Born and raised in Arizona.
I had a difficult time through school. Not academically. I
was just a pissed off kid. I fought almost daily. How I was not kicked out of
school is beyond me. My mom dipped out when I was about 7 or 8. My step dad
adopted me. I say step dad but he was there since almost day one.
I pushed a-lot of friends away with my anger and hate. But I
learned from that and overcame all that BS.
Graduated high school in 2011.
In high school I worked at a car wash. Where shortly after
graduating I was promoted to site manager. I quickly became bored with the car
wash industry. I quit with no plan or back up job. I was hired on at a local
remodeling company. Quickly learned that I didn’t like hanging drywall. So I
put feelers out. My Aunts restoration company was seeking a helper.
So in June 2012 I was hired. About 6 months into the industry
I was thrown into a lead technician roll. Where I quickly had to learn the
industry and quickly built my skills of problem solving. I quickly found a
passion for the industry.
hard working by nature, I rose to the top of my aunts company
over the span of 10 years. October of 2021 some massive changes were up and
coming that I didn’t want to be apart of. I had an opportunity fall in my lap.
And that was to start my own restoration company. That’s where Diamondback
Disaster Services was born. My aunt new my plan but her now Ex husband did not
so as I planned my departure he found out what I was doing and rightfully let
me go on the spot in December.
He made it easy on me I wasn’t sure how I would have that
conversation. I truly do appreciate everything I learned from him and that he
introduced me to this amazing industry.
January 2022
Luckily I had a few months of months of planning under my
belt I had significantly reduced my personal overhead. Refinanced my house,
sold my Rzr, used funds from refinance to pay off truck and other debts and put
money in the bank.
A great Friend of mine Eric owner of Eco roofing solutions
gave me a sales job to help me out and give me something to do while I waited
for my non compete to expire.
June of 2022 we fully launched
June-December we did 650k in revenue!
2023 I plan on hitting 1.5million!
When I’m not taking care of clients and ensuring the highest
quality possible. I enjoy personal development, out door activities sports with
the kids, fishing, Off-roading, Pokémon battling and collecting with the kids,
and playing and collecting Magic The Gathering for me.

June 05, 2023 Construction Champions Podcast 36 Josh Huite – The Vison Must Start With Understanding YOU!
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Josh Huite
and Ron Nussbaum talk about what the best version of yourself can really do for
your life and company. We unpack and travel down a road many will not address
when it comes to health and drinking in the construction industry.

Josh’s bio
I’ve been in the trades for 30 years now. During my formative
years as a tradesman, I was fortunate to have someone point me in the direction
that not only changed my life, but it also changed my business. The impact
those skills had, and still have, are just as valuable as the technical skills
I acquired over my career. They allowed the company and team to advance forward
in a saturated market where there was no standard. My drive and purpose now is
to share those skills, strategies and lessons to improve the standard,
perception and the appreciation of the men and women that build this country.
Coming to you as someone that has worked out of a toolbelt most of his life,
these principles I am sharing with you changed everything about me, my
experience as a technician, my influence as a LEADER and added tremendous value
to my clients.

May 29, 2023 Construction Champions Podcast 34 Matt Dibara – What’s Your Companies Rubber Duck?
On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Matt Dibara
and Ron Nussbaum talk about the roadblocks of hiring and what culture should
look like as you grow your company. With 104 years of data Matt continues to investigate
the corners of the room to improve his own company and helps others do the
same.

Matt’s bio
Fourth
generation mason Matt DiBara mixed his first bag of concrete at age 9 and went
on to spend most of his childhood learning the trade, eventually placing first
in the national SkillsUSA masonry competition. From there, he branched out to
attend the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where he earned a degree in
Construction Management and Environmental Design.
After
graduating, Matt took over his family's construction business and relocated to
Los Angeles, where he went on to be mentored by the likes of marketing guru Jay
Abraham and business tycoon Mike Agugilaro of CEO Warrior fame. Since then, he
has built up DiBara Masonry to become the leading masonry and concrete company
in the county, working on some of the most prestigious and well known celebrity
homes in the city, in addition to restoring a number of Hollywood's most famous
cultural landmarks.

𝐃𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐫𝐲
At DiBara Masonry, we are proud to be a fourth-generation
company. Michael Larusso and Matteo DiBara emigrated to the United States from
Italy in the early 1900s, leveraging the one skill they had to support
themselves: masonry. Each of them built his new home from brick and stone, with
the help of the neighboring community and from the ground up. At the time, it
may have appeared that they were merely constructing residences, but it would
turn out that they were building the foundation of a legacy that would last for
decades.
