D.R. Horton’s Michael P. Cuddy retires

The Southern Nevada Home Builders Association has announced that D.R. Horton Engineering Manager Michael P. Cuddy has retired.

He started his career as a civil engineer in 1986 with Engineers and Surveyors Inc. (ESI) and then moved on to Las Vegas Valley Water District. Throughout the 1990s he expanded his engineering knowledge by working at LR Nelson, CCRFCD and PBS&J.

Cuddy spent some of his PBS&J years on Capitol Improvement Programs at the city of North Las Vegas and Nevada Energy. In 2003, he joined the team at D.R. Horton as forward planning director. A few years prior to the housing bubble burst, Cuddy started his own consulting firm. For seven years, he served as a private consultant to several builders in Las Vegas, as well as to his former employer, D.R. Horton. In 2013, he returned to D.R. Horton.

“Michael has been an integral part of D.R. Horton. His contributions will always be valued and remembered. His hard work, commitment and dedication are worthy of admiration. “Cuddy” (as his teammates call him) will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the privilege to work with him. Filling his shoes will be an impossible task,” a SNHBA press release said.
