If anyone in the home got sick, there was a separate building on the campus, which, as I remember, was called the hospital. The gardener, who owned a large wooden cart with two big wheels to move plant materials and grass clippings, would come to pick us up. When anyone got sick, the staff woman would line the cart with ample pillows and blankets and then pack the patient into the cart. The gardener would then roll the cart and patient to the hospital building, which was only a short trip away."
Robert LaMar's earliest memories were formed in Washington D.C. in The Hillcrest Home for Children. LaMar never knew his father and spent most of his childhood with his older brother Jimmy as he navigated the turbulent times that defined his upbringing. LaMar started work early during high school and struggled to support himself before he got presented with the opportunity of vocational training classes.
LaMar's life was an amalgamation of beautiful memories and painful times. He remembers the mischief and the lessons he learned through the many mistakes he made. By the time he got to high school, he was juggling multiple jobs. He owes his success to the teachers who supported him through these difficult times with something as simple as exempting him from homework.
Robert LaMar soon transformed from a student to a constructability specialist. As he passed the hurdles and seized the opportunities presented by the training, he began to learn and change in ways that would become catalysts for his success down the line. LaMar's interest in construction developed during his first program, "Landscape Planning and Engineering," and the rest is history! His experiences at the Naval Air Reserve and Norair Engineering Corporation armed him with the technical expertise needed to further his ambitions in his field of expertise. He quickly learned how people worked and their unique personalities which could change project execution. Moving to California soon after led to a transition period that involved an influx of projects. As LaMar worked on different construction plans he gained the experience needed to work on tougher projects in the coming years. This led to R. W. LaMar Construction, along with consultation projects in China and India.
LaMar is an established entrepreneur working at Matt Construction advising businesses on how to utilize construction sites for the best results. He and his wife Jessica live with their dog, the one-eyed Jack, in California. LaMar is dedicated to his daughter and his grandchildren just as much as he is passionate about his work.
