Steve Sanderson graduated from San Diego State University in 1993 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology.  Immediately following his graduation, he joined K-Mart Design and Construction as a Project Manager, where he stayed until 1998.  Mr. Sanderson met Dwight Johnson on a K-Mart job site in 1997 and they stayed in touch throughout that year.  In 1998, Dwight offered Steve a junior project management position with Near-Cal.  By 2000, Mr. Sanderson was promoted to Project Manager and took on the additional responsibilities of overseeing Near-Cal's superintendents and job construction.  In 2006, Steve promoted once again to Vice President of Operations and in addition to field project management, his responsibilities include marketing and fiscal operations.  Mr. Sanderson is currently enrolled in the MBA program at the University of Phoenix and plans to graduate in 2009.


Steve Poindexter began his career in the construction industry at age 13 during summer breaks as a laborer and framing apprentice for both his father's general contracting firm and his uncle's framing business.  At age 19, after a year of junior college, he took a 4 year break from the business and served in the United States Army Infantry as an M-60 gunner in Hohenfels, Germany.  Upon returning stateside, he went back to his roots, working as a framer and on a Near-Cal project met Superintendent Marty Clark who suggested Steve approach Dwight Johnson about a position with Near-Cal.  Mr. Poindexter began working with Near-Cal in 2001 as an Assistant Superintendent.  He was quickly promoted to Superintendent, and in 2003 was asked to join the Project Management team.  Today, as Senior Project Manager, Steve works directly with owners, architects and along side superintendents to ensure jobs run smoothly, on time and within budget.  Steve is currently pursuing his Bachelor's degree from the University of Phoenix.
