Beth Lowry<\/a> (BSBC \u201895) and Scott Moss<\/a> (BSBC \u201896) were inducted into the University of Florida M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management<\/a> Hall of Fame in a historical ceremony this past Saturday at Rinker Hall. The Hall of Fame<\/a> honors those who have truly distinguished themselves in the construction profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir careers exemplify the dedication, leadership, and innovation that define excellence in our industry,\u201d said Rinker Director Robert F. Cox, Ph.D. \u201cBoth have not only made significant contributions to the field of construction, but also set inspiring standards for future generations. Their induction recognizes their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in our industry and their impact on the communities they serve. We celebrate their achievements and the lasting Rinker legacy they leave here at UF.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowry is the first woman to be inducted into the Rinker Hall of Fame. She began her career at Holder Construction as an intern in 1994 and joined them full-time after graduating from Rinker. Founded in 1960, Holder is a $6 billion construction services firm. Lowry currently serves as president and CEO of the company, the first female in Holder\u2019s history to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am deeply honored for this recognition placing me among construction\u2019s greatest leaders,\u201d Lowry said. \u201cI was surprised to learn I am the first woman inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are many women who have achieved remarkable success in our industry. This recognition has reminded me to amplify their success and stories inspiring the next generation of construction\u2019s top leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with his father Bob, Scott Moss also made history Saturday, becoming the second father-son duo ever to be inducted in the Rinker Hall of Fame (Vincent Burkhardt Jr. & Sr.). In 2004, Scott and Bob started Moss Construction based out of Fort Lauderdale. Together they created the company\u2019s first winning presentation and managed the company\u2019s first project. Now, two decades later, Moss employs over 5,000 people across America with revenue exceeding $3 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing selected by industry leaders and Hall of Fame members to be on the wall with Florida\u2019s construction legends is an incredible honor,\u201d Scott said. \u201cThese individuals have shaped and advanced the industry into what it is today. To be recognized alongside them is both humbling and affirms the countless hours and energy I\u2019ve dedicated to making a difference in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott also remarked that his father Bob was his greatest inspiration and encouraged students to leave a Rinker Legacy, which is unique to each person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a student, take the time to learn and appreciate these legacies, and then focus on being the best version of yourself,\u201d Scott said. \u201cCreate your own Rinker legacy by leveraging your strengths, talents, and individual path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowry agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConstruction is a \u2018people\u2019 business and Rinker kickstarted my own legacy,\u201d she said. \u201cRinker is an outstanding school, and I encourage all students to leverage your relationships with each other and the exceptional faculty to go beyond the classroom to connect with industry leaders. Ask yourself, \u2018How will I kickstart my own Rinker legacy?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
