Nora is in charge of Human Resources at Crown Contracting. She is also heavily involved in payroll, reports, accounting and compliance. Math and numbers have always intrigued Nora, so she attended the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and pursued a degree in math. She also has an accounting degree from Copper Mountain College and an MBA from Western Governors University.

Nora previously worked in a local hospital in the accounting department and was promoted to the Executive Director of their clinics. At the same time, she was still in charge of payroll, reports, and accounting for Crown Contracting, Inc.

Bob Johnson is a construction manager at Crown Contracting who is in charge of commercial construction. Overseeing estimating, contracts, preconstruction, construction, and closeout. Prior to Crown Contracting, he was a government contractor as an estimator/general manager for 10 years. He was part of the Army Corps Engineers disaster recovery where he helped rebuild Galveston after the hurricane. That was where he met Craig Burton, who was also helping rebuild homes.

Bob says he is where he is now because pastor Craig inspired him in joining to build a better life in the name of Jesus Christ. He felt that he was called to serve, so he works to make money and use it for a mission. People who know him say that once you give him a mission you can’t stop him.
