Originally from Newton, Truskett graduated from Kansas State University in 2001 and immediately went to work for Martin K. Eby Construction.

His first job, which lasted nearly three years, was in Austin. But as he began to start a family, Truskett said he jumped at the opportunity to return to Kansas.

"We thought it would be nice to be closer to family," he said.

Truskett most recently worked as a superintendent for the company. He will now join the Special Projects Group, which has been part of Eby Construction for more than 25 years.

Truskett said his main clients will be Koch Industries and Via Christi. He said that the variety of potential projects and client interaction make his new position both challenging and rewarding.

"The most difficult thing is probably just the wide array of jobs," he said. "Mainly I'm just looking forward to meeting long-term clients and bringing in new business."
