Wes started his construction career as a carpenter working with his brother framing houses and small commercial projects. Wes was noticed by one of their clients, Podijil Builders and went on to work for them in 1992. His clients there were Chili’s, Macaroni Grill, On the Boarder, Talbot’s, and McDonald’s. He developed a special bond with some of the McDonald’s operators and decided to strike it on his own starting PAL Construction (predecessor to PALCON INC) in 2004.
