WHO IS STEVE GIANNINI

It didn’t matter what a project looked like or how massive it was, Steve Giannini always said: “It’s all about the people.” These values are infused in the AGA culture and inspire the inaugural Steve Giannini “Walk the Jobsite” Shoe Drive.

Steve Giannini spent more than 35 years at AGA and was universally respected among our team and within the industry.

“Steve’s big thing was if you saw somebody struggling doing something or not working at a speed he thought was good, he would help. He was always side-by-side with our employees. That’s what comes to mind when I think of Steve and everything he has given to AGA.” — Scott Thurman, AGA Director of Safety

One of Steve’s best qualities was the pride he took in mentoring new hires. Steve would take every new project manager to a job site and walk them around the entire development, up and down the stairs, regardless of the number of stories, to give them a picture of what it was like to get a project done at AGA. Over the years, dozens of employees have walked jobs with Steve and this inspired the idea to name the shoe drive in his honor.

Founded in 1992, Shoes That Fit has provided more than 2 million pairs of shoes to those in need across the U.S.

Their vision: “A new pair of shoes can be a life-changing event for a child. School attendance, self-esteem and behavior improve. Physical activity increases. Smiles return. All from an often overlooked item — a good pair of shoes. Our vision is that, one day, every child in America who needs new shoes gets new shoes, allowing all children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.”

Thank you for helping us support kids in need while also honoring the values of Steve!
