  Steve Opper Retirement

  

  WIELAND would like to thank and congratulate Steve Opper on his retirement from WIELAND this week. Steve joined WIELAND in 2005 and has spent the last 20 years filling the pipeline with strategic construction opportunities. Steve ultimately became a partner and was Vice-President for New Business Development. In an era of “come-and-go” employees, Steve was the epitome of consistency, often opening the office at 7am and always methodically managing the pursuit of new businesses, locally, regionally, and nationally. His talent, kindness, and self-deprecating sense of humor will be greatly missed. We wish Steve and his wife, Faith, all the best in retirement.
