In this episode of Inside MCAA, CEO Tim Brink sits down with MCAA President and President of Hughes Environmental Engineering, Brian Hughes.

The two discuss Brian’s start in the mechanical contracting industry, his pride in representing member-contractors, and the importance of evolving to meet new challenges. 

Brian shares his perspective on lifelong learning, the benefits of collaboration, and how contractors can thrive by sharing and adapting best practices, calling his own company a “greatest-hits collection” of lessons learned from MCAA peers.

Other topics include labor shortages, diversity of work within the industry, MCAA’s strategic plan, and how to take advantage of educational opportunities.

Before wrapping things up, Brian and Tim also make time to chat about family, summer vacation, and a heated baseball rivalry.
