Team Member Spotlight - Nathan Sommers, Assistant Construction Manager

March 25, 2022

Name: Nathan Sommers 

Title: Assistant Construction Manager

What do you love most about your job? 

Working with and learning from team members and trade partners that are more knowledgeable than I am is my favorite part of my job. I also enjoy working on site in the Baessler communities because I prefer the variety of scenery as opposed to working solely at a desk in an office.

Do you have any special talents or hobbies? 

I enjoy rock climbing (indoor and outdoor, bouldering and sport), I can solve a Rubik’s cube in under two minutes, I’m decent at slacklining, and I enjoy taking spur of the moment road trips.

What is your favorite color? 

Blue, on the darker side.

Beach or mountains? 

Mountains for sure. I enjoy the seclusion, snow sports, and cooler temperatures.

Favorite book? 

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It’s a solid sci-fi / thriller with solid re-readability.

If money was no object, what would you do all day? 

Visit friends and family across the US and travel or live internationally. I’d be playing a decent amount of video games as well.

If you could go back in time, where would you travel to? 

I’d go to the mid-80s. Dang they have some great music. As for a specific location, I’m not positive.

Who is your celebrity crush? 

Chloë Grace Moretz

What is the next place on your travel bucket list and why? 

Black Gunnison Canyon National Park here in Colorado. It looks absolutely stunning and I’ve heard great things from friends about their trips here.

Favorite kind of ice cream? 

Mint Chocolate Chip till the day I die! (Specifically Ben and Jerry’s)

What was the first concert that you went to? 

Pegboard Nerds. I think I should have held out for something more interesting.

What is your favorite holiday?

 Christmas. There’s not much that I enjoy more than a relaxing day with family and friends during the holidays. I’m a sucker for some Christmas music also.

If you could be anywhere other than here, right this minute, where would you be? 

At a Glass Animals concert.

Last song you listened to – what is it? 

The Other Side of Paradise by Glass Animals

Flashback to when you were ten years old. What did you want to be when you grow up? 

A special agent just like my incredible Aunt.

What are you happiest doing, when you are not working? 

Hanging out with friends, rock climbing, or listening to music.
