Hosts: Daniel Glauser and Chelsea Scharbach, with guest Emma Buckman
In this episode, we sit down with Emma Buckman, one of our project managers, to hear the unique and unexpected story of how a high school skiing injury led her into a career in construction. Emma shares how she discovered construction science at Texas A&M, cut her teeth on fast-paced commercial projects in Denver, and ultimately found her place on the Risinger Build team in Austin.
We talk through the challenges of managing complex builds, the evolution of her skills, and what it’s like to lead high-end residential projects with intense architectural detailing. Emma walks us through the rewarding process of bringing a modern, feature-rich home to life and the joys and challenges of her current project, a no-drywall house with sculptural white oak ceilings and limestone interiors.
Emma brings clarity, coordination, and humor to her work and reminds us how valuable it is to have the right team at your side.
