The Construction Veteran Podcast

Send us a Message!

Today, we're proud to be joined by the inspirational Trevor Murray, a former Special Forces medic who's not just building houses, but building bridges for veterans into the construction industry. Trevor regales us with stories from his service in the 10th Special Forces Group, his deployments to Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, and how those experiences laid the foundation for his new career after leaving active duty.
We then transition into exploring Trevor's own transition from the military to the high end residential construction industry, detailing how his military background has added a unique perspective and skills to his work. Discover how he found his way into the industry with the help of David Weekly Homes and a friend's passion for construction. Trevor shares about his transition program, a venture that not only helped him navigate his career change, but now serves as a compass for other veterans seeking to do the same.
Finally, we tap into the value veterans bring to the construction industry, discussing the transferable military skills that can be a game changer. Together, we discuss the importance of mentorship and the need for expedited training. Trevor offers valuable insights on communication, time management, responsibility, and the hierarchy of the chain of command in construction. To close, we reflect on organizations like Honor Foundation, SOF Vets, and Veterati that assist veterans during their transition. So, tune in, as Trevor leads the charge in creating a space for veterans in the construction industry, ensuring no veteran is left without the tools to build a new career.
