HATCHER

Marceid DeAngelo Hatcher
Made a positive impression on clients and young professionals
30, Project Engineer
Turner Construction Co.
Anaheim

Marceid DeAngelo Hatcher made an impression at Turner Construction shortly after joining the company in 2006. Right out of college, he worked as an engineer on large projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) with budgets ranging from $86 million to $130 million. On those projects, he created and implemented a quality assurance/quality control system that played a key role in a project's being finished 10 weeks ahead of schedule. As a result, LAUSD implemented a specification requirement for all general contractors to have QA/QC programs with assigned personnel for future projects. In 2011 Hatcher co-founded Team Bright Life, a group that introduces young professionals to "life outside the box." The group focuses on health and wellness, arts and culture and professional development. He also participates in the Architecture, Construction and Engineering Mentor Program. In 2012 Hatcher was recognized by the Los Angeles Urban League Young Professionals in its second annual Men of Honor program.
