My Work

This portfolio contains samples of work that I have completed for school assignments, work projects, or as personal hobbies. If you would like additional information about any of the work samples you see here, feel free to contact me.

I built this house

As a framing foreman, I supervised a crew of framers for residential construction and remodeling. This house was one of the projects I supervised.

I remodeled these offices

As an assistant superintendent for Amaron Construction, I worked on a number of tenant improvement projects, including many at this business park in Orange County.

I wrote this code

As an assistant project manager and data analyst at Complete Merchant Solutions (CMS), I wrote thousands of lines of code to capture, store, and analyze data on billions of dollars of transactions.

I created this network

As the Director of IT at CMS, I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of numerous servers, devices, and workstations. When CMS moved to its new office, I managed the creation of a completely new network.

I designed this house

As a hobby, I drew up these plans using Revit based on sketches made by my father. The house has not yet been built, so the plans remain incomplete.

I scheduled this project

As part of my course work for my bachelor's degree in Construction Management, I simulated the scheduling of a multi-phase construction project of a hotel.

I estimated these costs

Working as an estimator for A Touch of Spanish Stucco and Stone, I prepared, submitted, and won the successful bid for this grocery store in Midway as well as numerous other projects in northern and central Utah.

About Me

My name is Stephen Aston. I'm originally from the Southern Idaho town of Rupert.

I went to BYU

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2010 with a degree in Construction Management.

I love the outdoors

I feel very at home when I am far from home. Hiking, backpacking, and camping are especially enjoyable to me.

I like sports

I am especially good at watching sports, but I also like playing. I'm a big fan of BYU athletics, Real Salt Lake, and the Utah Jazz. While in college, I was in the presidency of the BYU student-fan association called Cougar United.

I'm kind of a nerd

I had to say I like sports before fessing up to this, but I have extensive experience with computers and technology. I've worked with hardware, configured networks, designed websites, written code, and managed databases.

I am passionate about construction

When I was three years old, we poured some footings for an addition to our house. That day, after staring and watching for hours, I drew a picture of the construction equipment and had it labeled "I love this day!" I still get excited about building things.

I speak Spanish

I spent two years as a missionary in Uruguay. I learned the language, served families and communities, and led and trained other missionaries.
