Each year, the Humboldt Builders Exchange recognizes members who embody the spirit of Humboldt’s construction community — people whose dedication, skill, and collaboration keep our region growing strong.
The Construction Person of the Year award celebrates those who go above and beyond to support the local trades, give back to their peers, and set a lasting example for the next generation of builders.
In 2025, HMBX proudly recognized Pat Hooven, Jason Jordan, and Dena McCullough for their outstanding contributions to the industry. Collectively, they represent decades of experience and leadership across the field — from managing complex projects to mentoring new tradespeople entering the workforce.
Their work demonstrates what the Exchange stands for: integrity, teamwork, and pride in building not just structures, but relationships that strengthen our community. Whether through guiding apprentices, supporting education programs, or volunteering time on local initiatives, each recipient has shown an unwavering commitment to raising the standard for our profession.
The Humboldt Builders Exchange extends heartfelt congratulations to Pat, Jason, and Dena for this well-deserved honor. Their example reminds us that great projects aren’t built alone — they’re built together, through trust, perseverance, and a shared belief in the value of hard work.
