At Rocky Mountain Stone, we have been blessed to have many outstanding individuals journey with us on our quest to be the best stone fabrication shop in the Southwest. One of our managers, Nash Lujan, has been an integral part of our success over the years and we’d like to recognize him this month for his commitment and consistency in that quest.
Nash has been with Rocky Mountain Stone for 17 years and has held positions in every aspect of our work. He started out as a fabricator in the shop and learned the many hand fabrication methods that were necessary to excel. From there he became an install lead and installed hundreds of kitchens, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, showers and bar tops. After being an install lead, Nash moved into templating and then on to become shop foreman for the next six years. Within the last year, Nash has moved into our install manager role and has done a great job overseeing 5 install crews and the many challenges that present themselves daily in the construction trades.
Karen Ryan, one of our senior project managers, nominated Nash and had this to say: “This man has worn several hats in the company during his 17 years, during which he has always given 110% of himself to the expectation of the position. He continues to exude kindness to all with a friendly, helpful attitude. When dealing with customers he has truly displayed our T.A.C.T.I.C. values. I consider him a valuable member of the RMS team and personally feel blessed to call him a friend.”
Congratulations Nash on this well deserved recognition!

At Rocky Mountain Stone, we believe that the smooth collaboration of fabricating, installing, and templating is key to our success. When these elements come together, they ensure that the final product is truly a delight:
