Sam MacDonald.

Most people in the Clare Valley would know Sam as the owner of SJM, the largest construction company in the mid north of South Australia.

He wanted to bail on this interview, not wanting to be in the spotlight, but I’m so glad he went ahead with it, as his story is captivating.

A 9 –time award winning company, SJM employs 22 people, working on more than 200 new homes, renovations and commercial projects in the mid north.

Many people would also know Sam after the devastating loss he and his family faced a few years ago when his eldest son Kade passed away.

Today, it's all about Sam, about the struggles in the early days, about the time he walked away from the opportunity to be a professional rugby player and about his passion for sustainable building design.
