Saturday, November 30th, 2019 -- 8:07 AM
The Daily Reporter has named Shawn Hoffman of Hoffman Construction Company Black River Falls, the Estimator of the Year at its 2019 Newsmakers of the Year event, held October 24th at the Harley-Davidson Garage in Milwaukee.The Daily Reporter is a Wisconsin-based construction, bidding and transportation newspaper. Shawn Hoffman has always been drawn to the outdoors. As the chief estimator at Hoffman, he grew up on a dairy farm in Medford, where his family encouraged him to explore all his options. That pursuit of a career involved less office time and more time outdoors, which led him to spend a few summers in construction, dabbling in commercial and highway projects. Shawn attended the UW-Stout, where he graduated with a degree in construction management. During school, Shawn was an intern at Hoffman and was offered a full-time position after graduation. He’s been with the company just over 15 years.
Hoffman, who has no family relation to the namesake company he works for, doubles as the chief estimator and as a project manager. Working on projects like the massive Foxconn plant, Shawn, said he enjoys the hard work required to estimate the spending needed for any particular project. When Shawn is not estimating or on a job site, he enjoys the Midwest outdoors, hunting, boating or fishing. He also likes traveling to warmer places during the long Wisconsin winters. The construction industry’s day-to-day variety is what motivates Hoffman.
