Steve Mechler
President, SpawMaxwell
Steve Mechler first picked up a hammer at 13-years-old as a carpenter’s helper during construction of his family’s home in San Antonio, Texas. He confirmed his gift for construction at Texas A&M, graduating in 1981 with a degree in building construction. After fielding multiple offers from some of the largest construction companies in the area, Steve joined Linbeck in their Houston office. In 1991 Steve brought his expertise in medical construction to Maxwell Company Construction and became an officer in 1995. Steve was named Operations Manager at SpawMaxwell in 2004 and elected President in 2006. After Tropical Storm Allison hit Houston in 2001, Steve managed the renovation at the flooded Memorial Hermann in the Medical Center bringing three of their critical care buildings damaged by Allison back online in 39 calendar days.
Steve and his wife Laurie are active in their church, and have two grown daughters. Steve’s passion is salt water wade fishing – throwing topwater lures wherever, and whenever, he gets the chance. Steve takes a positive approach to business – and life – always viewing the “glass as half full.” He encourages SpawMaxwell employees to get involved in their community, and supports many causes with service to:
- Faith In Practice
- Association of General Contractors
