Masonry Student: Career Choice 'Hit Me Like a Ton of Bricks'

Anthony J. DiBucci, of Pittsburgh, enrolled in building construction technology: masonry emphasis major, wrote the initial article for a new Masonry Design Blog feature. Headlined "How I Work," DiBucci shares a glimpse into a typical day at Penn College and a reverent perspective on his meticulous craft of choice. "I know I’m in a field that will allow me to leave my presence on the world through projects I build," he writes. "Masonry leaves a permanent mark, and if we want that mark to be filled with creativity and imagination, we must be knowledgeable in the field in which we work. The creation of a skilled mason’s work will be there always as an enduring reminder of a human being’s need to create and build."
