After 25 years with GDA Contractors, we’re wishing Andy Bautz, Vice President, all the best as he begins a well-deserved retirement! 🎉
Andy joined GDA in 2001, when the company was operating out of a small converted house with locations in Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Albuquerque. A lot has changed since then. Today, GDA has grown to eight offices, taken on larger and more complex projects, and continued to invest in safety, training, and, most importantly, its people.
Looking back at where GDA was when he started and where the company is today, Andy shared:
“To have played a part in our growth these past 25 years is something that I am very proud of and know that the future is bright for GDA.”
Along with watching GDA grow, it’s the people, relationships, projects, and plenty of great memories over the years that stand out to Andy. He’s especially grateful for the opportunity to have worked so closely with GDA Chief Executive Officer Dan Cain, who Andy describes not only as a coworker and mentor, but also as someone he’s proud to call a friend. 🤝
As Andy begins this next chapter, he’s looking forward to spending more time with family, traveling, staying active, finding ways to give back, and enjoying some new adventures. He says he’ll definitely miss the day-to-day interactions with the people at GDA.
Andy, thank you for 25 incredible years and for everything you’ve brought to GDA Contractors. We’re grateful you’ve been such an important part of our story and wish you nothing but the best in retirement. 🌟
Please join us in congratulating Andy and wishing him well in this next chapter!
