Mr. Scott Free

In the past 37 years, San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction has grown into one of the largest commercial and industrial builders in San Diego County thanks, in part, to the constant presence of Scott Free.
Initially starting out as a laborer and project engineer, Free's interest in construction, which stemmed from his father and brother who launched Free Builders Supply Inc. in Vista, has helped him climb the ranks of Lusardi to CEO, a position he's held for nearly three years.
