Heather Hoffman
President

I started my career in construction at CDI, helping my dad grow the family business. In 2011, I took a detour, and spent 8 years as a PM for a general contractor. I learned so many things to bring back to CDI. I feel very fortunate that I have the opportunity to lead the team into the next generation. In my free time I like to travel, study Spanish, read, and relax with my dogs.
