Heather leads the Operations for Austin Fanning General Contractors. She began working
beside Austin in 2011 on a part time basis while working her corporate position in Publishing.

best way to do something – whether it’s for a project or in the business. Heather’s
responsibilities include guiding clients, overseeing projects, and making sure the flow and
