Mac Lund – Hands-On Steel, Dirt & Construction Experience
McKenzie (“Mac”) Lund brings over 12 years of real, boots-on-the-ground construction experience to every project. His background spans fabrication, structural steel, steel erection, welding, framing, excavation, concrete, drywall, painting, trim, project management, and general contracting across Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
Mac started as a general laborer and worked his way up to running crews and full projects. He’s been responsible for time and labor management, jobsite safety, estimating and bidding, job-costing, invoicing, procurement, and owner communication— all while making sure the field work is done right. That combination of hands-on skill and project leadership is what Lund Ventures brings to mini storage, steel building, residential, and support-service jobs.

- Eagle Scout (2009) – early focus on leadership, planning and follow-through.

- Iron Man Metal Buildings / Iron Man Enterprises (2018–Present) – foreman/superintendent and general contractor building commercial red iron projects and managing full scopes: concrete, framing, drywall, finishes, painting and more. General contracted multi-million-dollar projects including Orepac Lumber and Artisan Labs.

Over the years, Mac has seen that the difference between an average project and a great one comes down to honest relationships and clear communication with owners, subs, suppliers and crews. Lund Ventures is built around that mindset—doing what we say we’ll do, and delivering work that holds up in real conditions.
