Welcome to another episode of Rock Talk: From the Ground Up. I’m your host and co-owner of Texas Rock Milling, Trey McCarty.

In this podcast, we dig deep into the foundations of growth, creativity, and the opportunity of South Texas. Our goal, as always, is to hear from inspiring people who are shaping the future of San Antonio from the ground up.

My guest today is someone who initially made his mark in Texas and is now doing the same out west. Jack Lopez started his journey in San Antonio, earning an Environmental Design Degree focused in Architecture/Construction from Texas A&M University. He would go on to become the President of Incore Inc., working on major real estate and construction projects all over Texas.

These days, Jack is carving out new ground in Park City, Utah with his visionary project Keetley Ridge, a boutique luxury community situated five minutes from Deer Valley East Village—a premier destination for ski enthusiasts. Jack’s project features homes as well as a future retail center that will span 37,200 square feet.

In this episode, you’ll discover some of the challenges of working in the Texas development market, the differences between building in the Hill Country and the mountains of Utah, the importance of living connected to the land, and much more.

Welcome to episode three of Rock Talk: From the Ground Up. I’m your host and co-owner of Texas Rock Milling, Trey McCarty.

In this podcast, we dig deep into the foundations of growth, creativity, and the opportunity of South Texas. Our goal, as always, is to hear from inspiring people who are shaping the future of San Antonio from the ground up.

In this episode, we’re going below the surface both in construction and in conversation. We’re talking about the literal stuff everything else is built on, the stuff we stand on every day: rebar, concrete, and mud. Joining me to share his insights is a guy who isn’t just laying slabs, he’s laying down the standard.

Travis Weems has poured footings for dream homes, pads for big-time commercial builds, and he’s probably rescued a job or two that someone else tried to DIY. He’s the founder of Victory Concrete, a business built on grit, precision, and a whole lot of cement dust.

In this episode, you’ll hear what makes a solid foundation, why it’s important to pick the right property for your vision, Travis’ favorite tools to get the job done, and much more.
