Our Most Experienced Builder


John Casale is the most experienced “builder” from BBPC at our work site. As a result, he gets peppered with questions, throughout the day, on a variety of building projects. John always answers them patiently and with a respect for the person asking the question.

The best building John does at our worksite is the building of relationships. He builds positive relationships… with his fellow adult advisors… with the young people from BBPC… and especially with the mother and the small children whose home we’re working on.

When three of us got our host family’s front porch muddy, it was John who grabbed a mop and cleaned it off. Why? Because it was the right thing to do.

I’m really glad this ASP experience has given me a chance to get to know John a bit more and to learn from his example.
