🎓 Meet David Hetrick — our Architectural Design Intern!
A lifelong builder from Mobile, Alabama, David’s interest in design started early — from building with Legos and tinkering with radios to discovering SketchUp in his first STEM class. That curiosity eventually led him to earn his Associate’s degree in Drafting and Design Technology from Bishop State Community College and continue his education at The University of Southern Mississippi.
David is now completing his Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering Technology at Southern Miss and will graduate this December. 💛🖤
This summer, we’ve had the opportunity to welcome David to the FC Design Center team, where he’s been able to take what he’s learned in the classroom and apply it to real projects, real clients, and the everyday process of bringing good design to life.
Internships like this are important to us. There’s something special about giving the next generation of designers and construction professionals a place to learn, contribute, ask questions, and gain real-world experience — and we learn from their fresh perspective, too.
David has been a wonderful addition to our team, and we’re excited about what the future holds as he heads toward graduation and the next chapter of his career.
Southern Miss to the Top! 💛🖤
