Checking In with Sean Ray

Sean Ray has been a carpenter with Alexander Nicholson for three years. Sean moved to Charlottesville with his parents as a teenager. Before coming to Virginia, Sean’s family lived in Colorado, as well as Daytona Beach, Florida, where he was born. Sean has never lost his ties to the ocean. He’ll take any chance he can get to be near the water. Today, he lives just outside of town with his fiancé, Stephanie, and their two children. 

During his time at Alexander Nicholson, Sean has put his carpentry skills to the test on a number of high-end residences, but favorite project so far has been an elegant dock on a farm pond. It features a curved viewing platform connected to a fishing pier by a floating serpentine walkway. Sean loves challenging himself and exploring new woodworking techniques.  

Sean’s favorite thing about working at Alexander Nicholson is the camaraderie. At Alexander Nicholson, employee social events and collaboration between departments is just the beginning. We look for natural team players who care about doing the right thing for their teammates and their community. Sean takes this to heart, playing a leading role at company events and lifting up everyone he works with. 

When Sean isn’t at work or on a beach sipping a Corona with lime, he’s wrenching on cars. Like a lot of us, he enjoys learning about how things are put together. If it has a motor, he can get it running. In Sean’s words, “I like doing what people say can’t be done.”  

Sean’s technical abilities and positive attitude have made him a valuable part of our team!  

Thanks for your hard work, Sean!
