It all started on a snowy mountain. I had no business being there, I never snowboarded a day in my life, but he convinced me it’d be fun. He had that confidence. The kind that made me think, Maybe I won’t completely die out there. So, there I was, strapped into a snowboard, wobbling at the top of the hill, trying not to panic. And then there he was, standing beside me, grinning like it was the easiest thing in the world. The whole way down, he held my hands, steadying me when I wanted to bail and keeping me laughing when I wanted to scream. He didn’t care how slow I was or how many times I fell – he just stayed by my side, patient, calm, and somehow making me feel like I belonged there. By the time we got to the bottom, I wasn’t even mad at the snow in my jacket. I just wanted to get back up there with him.
Fast forward to now, and we’ve traded snowboards for job sites and chaos for, well… more chaos. Together, we’ve built Lytwyn Construction into a reputable commercial construction company in the Lehigh Valley. Juggling submittals, contracts, billing, and the endless surprises of job sites has become our daily routine. It’s messy, loud, and unpredictable but he’s always there navigating it all with me, just like we did on that snowy mountain.
Every day feels like that first snowboarding trip: a little intimidating, a lot chaotic, but somehow perfect because we’re in it together, tackling it all with laughter and teamwork.
