I contribute my time to the betterment of the industry through various association activities and assist other contractor members whenever I am asked.

Zach Thibodeau, Pivetta Brothers
Zach is the President of Pivetta Brothers Construction.
About Zach: I grew up in the civil industry in Alaska and transplanted to Washington, where I’ve built a career around this trade and the people in it. The generational handoff I’m living through at Pivetta Brothers is happening across our industry right now, and I’d like to help NUCA carry that forward into another successful generation.
Current NUCA Involvement: Zach has recently joined Pivetta’s leadership team and in his short time there, his own involvement to date has been at the participant level; volunteering at Pivetta’s Dozer Days booth and playing in the annual golf tournament. Dozer Days is what sold him: he brought his two daughters to help work the booth and they walked away bigger fans of the event than he is, which is exactly what that day is built to do. Zach wants to join the board as the generational handoff happening at Pivetta is the same one happening across our industry, and he’d rather help shape how NUCA meets it than watch from the sidelines.
Shane Webley, Johansen Construction Company
Shane is currently a Contractor Board Member seeking re-election for a two year appointment.
Shane is Vice President at Johansen Construction Company.
About Shane: I am passionate about the heavy civil, and utility construction industry. NUCA members deliver critical infrastructure projects in the communities we call home & yet many people who benefit from these efforts may never be aware of the work we do. This realization drives me to give back to, and speak up for the industry that I love. NUCA members are building America every day, & any effort I can put forth that supports the greater good of our industry is something that I strive to provide.
Current NUCA Involvement:
Shane is a current board member, serving as the Chair of the ConstructED Conference Committee, the NUCA Representative for the University of Washington Construction Industry Advisory Council (CIAC), and a Committee Member on the Legislative Committee. Shane is also a Committee Member on the NUCA National State/Local Government Affairs Committee and the Federal Government Affairs Committee.
Associate Director Candidates:
Scott McDonald, Dickinson & Wright
Scott is a Construction Attorney at Dickinson & Wright
About Scott: Since the start of my legal career, my primary focus has been, and always will be, educating, advising, and advocating for contractors in all facets of their operations. I’ve experienced firsthand the many ways Washington law stacks the deck against contractors, most especially NUCA’s civil infrastructure members. Overcoming these challenges requires knowledge, creativity, and vision, which is as true for project disputes as it is for broad policy advocacy. I’m honored to have the opportunity to bring those traits to a leadership role at NUCA, for the benefit of its members and the industry as a whole.
Current NUCA Involvement: Scott has been an active member of NUCA for 10 years and has spent his legal career representing civil infrastructure and underground contractors. He spearheaded the effort to bring his prior law firm, Miller Nash, into NUCA’s rank and has run sponsorship holes at several NUCA annual golf tournaments. He recently joined Dickinson Wright (formerly Ashbaugh Beal) and is excited to carry on the firm’s decades long support of NUCA, its members, and the industry.
