Internal Vice President - David Faustini

Hello everyone, my name is David Faustini and I am the Internal Vice President of Internal Affairs. Originally from Mammoth Lakes, California, I was introduced to the Construction Manager path after spending a couple of years working as a carpenter, framing residential homes. When I learned that SDSU had a Construction Management Program, I knew it was the school for me. My favorite class so far has been CON E 280 with Professor Lakrori because of the various job sites that we were able to visit and the interactions we were able to have with working professionals on site. After graduating in Spring 2026 I intend to work as a Project Engineer for a large General Contractor that focuses on the healthcare and entertainment sectors.
