I've lived in Wildomar my whole life.  I was born in Compton, but moved out here when I was 5.  I like sports and I'm a huge Dodgers & Lakers fan, so 2020 was a good year for me.  I love to grill and spend time with my family.

When I'm not working I love to spend time with my two loves... my fiance and my dog.

Axle started dabbling in construction as a young kid with his grandfather.  Lee Wagner has been doing all types of construction work for well over 30 years.  Axle learned a little bit from various trades as a young kid and has always excelled quickly in his challenges.  After a couple of years in college he decided to go back to his roots in the construction industry.  Axle was born in the state of Washington and enjoys spending time with his family.  He strives to be the best example as a father and husband as possible.

Studied fine arts, anatomy and biology.

Lived all of my life in harsh winters and finally escaped to California!  I have a fondness for Vivaldi and Rodin.  My favorite architectural style is Brutalist.  The best tool brand is Makita... or Milwaukee, but definitely Makita.

I first started to use power tools in shop class at 12 years old and have loved it since.  Got into construction after college and spent most of my career in excavation and pipe laying.

Brent Adams has been filmmaking and editing for 7 years.  He started off just making little videos for youtube and ended up going to college for filmmaking because of how much he loved creating video content.

He graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Digital Film and Video Production.  He's worked with bands, businesses, and feature films.  He is very excited to be a part of a family oriented team at Dalinghaus Construction!

After leaving the automotive indeiustry I was a mechanic foreman in the Union for a major earth moving company.  My duties included managing several people and rebuilding components for heavy equipment.  I opened my 4th auto & radiator shop in 2008.  I chose to sell the business and went to work for Saber Foundations in 2013.  In 2016 I joined the Dalinghaus Construction team and have worn several different hats while here... From a Project Design Specialist, to managing the Project Design Specialists, and even a short stint as our team's fleet mechanic. 

In January 2021 I moved to Arizona to head the sales division and help to introduce our team to the Arizona market.

I started working in the construction industry for a company that installed ATM’s. I have also worked in the casino business and have helped run Comic Con shows in Hawaii and in Texas. My dream is to go back to school and get my BSN to become a NICU nurse. I enjoy working in my garden and cooking with the fruit and vegetables I grow.

Carly spent the first portion of her adult life working in law enforcement.  As her kids got older she needed more of a normal schedule so she wouldn't miss all of their sporting events.  She went back to school and got her Bachelor's degree in Business.  Dalinghaus Construction is her first office job, and her motto is... It's never to late for a new start!
