Layton’s team of tireless runners and Ashley endured heat, sleep deprivation, dust and blisters at the grueling two-day, 200ish mile relay race. 2 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY Welcome! Fernandes & Sons Brings Great People and a Wide Range of Experience to Layton In May, Layton announced the acquisition of the assets of Fernandes & Sons General Contractors of Campbell, California. The new company now operates under the name Layton Fernandes. We asked our new California employees to tell us something about themselves. Those who responded are featured on the following pages. Celebrity Encounter I met the baseball player Benito Santiago, the catcher from the San Francisco Giants, in McDonald’s. Alvaro Montoya Superintendent 3 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY Riding, Camping in Style I have quite a few hobbies, but I guess my favorite would be “glamping” and wakeboarding. My husband and I have a 35’ 5th wheel with (3) slides, which makes the trailer the size of a tiny apartment. Of course, this doesn’t really qualify as camping. Hence the term “glamping”. I also love wakeboarding! I am turning 56 this summer and being able to get up and “shred the lake” is quite the accomplishment. Linda Gonzalez Project Engineer 4 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY A Different Kind of Construction I enjoy building theatre sets for local theatre groups. Most recently, I designed and created sets for Cinderella – next stop Peter Pan. We had fun with this show. My wife did costumes, and that’s my daughter Sarah as Cinderella. Pearse Brennan Superintendent Born to Travel Among art, reading and hiking, I love traveling most of all and getting to experience different cultures first-hand. Ashley Kildunne Project Engineer 5 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY Both Sides of the Nickle(s) I met my husband Randy on the job 29 years ago and worked with him most of those years, but I just left him. Hey, it’s not what you think! After 40 years of working and the past 18 years with Fernandes & Sons, now Layton Fernandes, I retired on July 17th. Since I’m “the older woman,” Randy will continue with Layton Fernandes as project manager for a few more years until it’s time for him to retire. I retired on my mom’s 95th birthday. We had a big party for her and then went on our annual two-week vacation to Lake Tahoe. So I’ve been busy! I’m fortunate since mom is still healthy (doesn’t even need glasses!), drives and is totally independent. I look forward to spending more time with her. I’ll also be spending more time with our dog, Truckee. We’ve been having WNBBQ at our house for 19+ years now. That’s Wednesday Night Bar B Que, EVERY Wednesday for over 19 years. With vacations and holidays we have at least 45 WNBBQ’s a year. We average about 15 guests a week. It’s been a great tradition; we eat well on Wednesday nights! Lynn Nickles Project Accountant I have been referred to for years as Golfhon ever since my wife got me a personal license plate “GOLFHON” and it’s on my company vehicle! Yes, I do like to play golf. Randy Nickles Project Manager 6 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY Celebrity Encounter II While living in Park City, Utah in the 1970s, I met Robert Redford in a Mexican restaurant. He is a real nice person. RJ (Randy) Jackson Project Superintendent Singing in a Saloon I’m a native Californian who for a brief time lived in Texas. During one of my exploratory adventures in Fort Worth one Sunday afternoon, I was pulled up on stage in a small saloon by a cowboy in a 10-gallon white hat to help him sing Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville. I didn’t know much of the lyrics, but it was good fun! Parrot Head? Kim McAfee Project Accountant 7 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 Hike, Bike, Ski I love to spend time with my kids, hike, ski, bike! Josh Angelo Superintendent COVER STORY In Good Company I share the same birthday with Alan W. Layton, December 29th. Jason Giammona Project Engineer Married to the Tool Man My family is my world and consists of Tim the Tool Man Allen (he’s really a CPA), daughters Meagan and Addison, and of course my mom and dad. I was born and raised here in San Jose in my favorite hospital to work in – Good Samaritan (SHHH don’t tell anyone). Kimberly Allen Project Manager Mountain Man I joined the Layton Fernandes team from the Layton side. In my spare time I like to be outdoors either hiking, fishing, mountain bike riding and hanging out with my family. My wife, Rebecca, and I have two children, James who is six and Amelia who is 1 ½ . The picture of my son and myself is from a hike to the top of Moro Rock in the Sequoia National Forest. My son will tell you it was a great day because he beat me to the top. Paul Phalen Assistant Project Manager 8 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY “Semi” Retirement Beckons Larry and Teri Fernandes My wife and I have enjoyed the proprietorship of Fernandes & Sons General Contractors which we created more than four decades ago. Together with very dedicated employees we have enjoyed an excellent reputation in the medical construction field. I am proud to pass our company on to a like-minded, excellent company such as Layton Construction. I’m not sure we’ll ever fully retire as our plate is full, but we are enjoying more discretionary time and quality time with each other. As an airline transport pilot and helicopter flight instructor, my passion for aviation has helped in business and pleasure. I see pursuing that even more in SEMI retirement. Teri enjoys photography, sewing and art and is looking forward to pursuing those interests. She has wanted to remodel our home which I have resisted – we should have time for that as well. Top on our lists is spending more time with family, traveling with friends, motorcycle riding, bicycles, hiking . . . the list goes on. I’m positive Layton Fernandes will be taken to new heights under the watchful eye of Layton and continue to be very successful in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s been a pleasure….” Larry Fernandes 9 The Layton Way Vol 3. Aug.-Sept. 2015 COVER STORY: Q&A New Employees Bring Hearts to Work for Clients, Community What has impressed you about the San Jose Team? What has impressed you about the San Jose Team? At Layton Fernandes, our employees make an impact on their community – the largest, fastest growing community in the United States. They realize, for a nurse or doctor with 10-20 years’ experience, delivering healthcare is routine. But for a patient that experience is anything but. They feel a great sense of pride knowing their contributions will make a difference to the people they serve. The employees here realize that most peoples’ lives begin and end in hospitals. The doors are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It takes true dedication and commitment to doing whatever it takes, to get the job done, that’s the definition of our team here in San Jose. I am impressed by the client-oriented culture that has existed within the Fernandes organization for years. It aligns very well with Layton’s culture of creating lasting relationships and understanding and exceeding customer expectations. The owners and facilities they have serviced over the years consider them an extension of their staff and have a high level of trust in them. Most of their work is negotiated without going through a competitive bid process. They have earned that trust and it has been a hallmark of their success. What are you looking forward to down the road? In business, growth doesn’t just happen – it must be planned and cultivated in order to achieve a successful result. Therefore, I am most excited about growing a strong, steady, stable business, while serving the needs and challenges of a community we call home. The Bay Area represents one of the two most highly educated workforces in the nation, with a high percentage of residents with graduate and professional degrees. We are interested in growing our presence with talent but we are mainly interested in growing our footprint here in San Jose with a team of folks who give their hearts and minds to the industry. I’ve started to share a motto here recently, “Bring your heart to work.” We can educate and mentor but we can’t teach “heart.” As a mentor once said, “ I believe we must be brave and forthright with our internal and external business partners; stay true to our own values and to our commitments, yet act with consideration for others interests, needs and feelings.” What are you looking forward to down the road? Layton has worked in the Bay Area for years, but with the acquisition of Fernandes & Sons, we now have a solid base to build from. With the addition of a local office with experienced builders and a deeply-rooted knowledge of the local market, our future is bright and it’s exciting to think of the opportunities we have to more fully integrate and expand together in one of the fastest growing markets in the country.
