I'm pleased to announce ENR California’s Top 20 under 40 honorees for 2014. These 20 individuals are at once visionaries, trailblazers and workhorses, who have built extraordinary portfolios in just a few short years. In addition, many donate significant amounts of time and expertise to serve their communities.

Each recipient will be profiled in more detail in the Feb. issue of ENR California.

ENR California received 75 entries this year, so it was a difficult task for the panel of judges to narrow the outstanding entries to just 20. I strongly encourage anyone who submitted but did not win to resubmit next year – just be sure to save a copy of your entry so you can add in all your accomplishments from 2014! Judges included industry vets and past 20 under 40 recipients; they will be listed in the Feb. issue of ENR California as well.

Thanks again to everyone who participated this year by submitting or judging!
