Paving Industry Leader Urges Young Entrepreneurs to Choose Purpose Over Shortcuts and Find Strength in Persistence

STATEN ISLAND, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 11, 2025 / Timothy Lubniewski, a respected leader in the commercial paving industry and General Manager at Rose Paving LLC, is the subject of a newly released feature interview. The article offers a compelling look at Lubniewski's two-decade journey from launching his first paving company at age 23 to managing regional operations for the largest privately held paving maintenance firm in the U.S.

The piece highlights the personal grit, faith, and leadership philosophy that have shaped Lubniewski's career. Readers are invited into the story of a Staten Island native who built multiple companies from the ground up, navigated significant business transitions, and remained grounded in hard work, humility, and faith.

"I want young people to know that building something from scratch, with your own hands and your own name on the line, still matters," said Lubniewski in the interview. "We need to bring back respect for trades, self-discipline, and the belief that there's always an answer-if you're willing to do the work."

The interview also explores the challenges that tested his resilience, including the personal loss of friends and family, and difficult lessons learned from misaligned business relationships. Lubniewski credits his ability to persevere to his faith and an unwavering belief in showing up with integrity, even when the path wasn't clear.

"There were days when I was ready to give up," Lubniewski shared. "But faith in God and the belief that the next day could be better if I gave just a little more-that kept me going."

The article connects Lubniewski's story to wider industry trends. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, skilled trades like construction and maintenance are expected to face a shortage of over 500,000 workers by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, small business ownership among younger generations continues to decline. Lubniewski sees this as both a challenge and a call to action.

"There's a fear of failure and a chase for easy wins. But success often comes from the grind, not the glamor," he said. "I didn't go viral-I went to work."

The interview closes with a message for entrepreneurs and professionals in all industries: consistency, faith, and showing up every day still matter.

"Success is measured by how much joy and happiness you bring to others," Lubniewski added. "We're not all going to be influencers, but we can all be an influence."
