2024-2025 SDSU AGC/CMAA Officers
President - Tristen Montalvo-Benedetto
[email protected]
Hello everyone, my name is Tristen Montalvo-Benedetto and I am the AGC/CMAA Student Chapter President. I am a Construction Management major and have been apart of the chapter for the past two years at SDSU. I originally went to a community college in the Bay Area and grew up there before moving to San Diego. Being apart of the chapter has allowed me to meet some of my closest friends, build up my resume, and grow recognition and lasting relationships among industry professionals. Upon graduating, I want to become a Project Engineer, followed by a Project Manager role for a General Contracting company. After some time, I hope to gain enough experience to split off and start my own construction business.

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.
