Nils Blomquist
As a Sacramento native from a family of builders, Nils Blomquist knew he found something special when he joined DPR’s Sacramento office in 2005. Nils’ early interest in construction began when his grandfather, who emigrated from Sweden all the way to California, taught him about carpentry and furniture making. Throughout his career, Nils has worked on a diverse array of projects in all five of DPR’s core markets: life sciences, advanced technology, higher education, corporate office and healthcare. The most rewarding aspect of construction for Nils is when he can show a finished project to his kids, and know that he played a part in building it.
Early on I learned the value of being a true builder. That’s why I love that we self-perform work—I don’t think I’d be at DPR if we didn’t.
