Oscar "Ozzy" Peña – The Backbone of the Worksite

At 44 years old, Oscar Peña—better known as Ozzy—is a man built from equal parts grit and heart. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and now calling New York City home, he has spent decades mastering his craft in construction. His hands tell the story of hard labor, of steel beams lifted, concrete poured, and structures brought to life.

Standing at 6 feet, 240 pounds, Ozzy is a fair-skinned, inked-up, and broad-shouldered force of nature. His short-cropped hair and greying goatee give him the look of a man who’s seen it all, but his sharp eyes still carry the fire of someone who refuses to slow down.

A natural leader on-site, Ozzy’s swagger seeps through his English, his fluent Spanish adding rhythm to every joke and command. His sarcastic greetings are almost a rite of passage for anyone new to the crew, but beneath the wit is an unshakable loyalty. To Ozzy, the job isn't just about getting it done—it’s about getting it 110% right.

His work ethic is legendary—always the first one in, last one out. Every tool, every piece of equipment has its place, and he makes sure it stays that way. Some might call it obsessive; Ozzy just calls it respect for the craft.

Among his crew, he’s not just a foreman or a worker—he’s the glue that holds them together. When tensions rise, he’s the one breaking it with a joke. When exhaustion hits, he’s the one pushing through. No matter the weather, no matter the conditions, Ozzy Peña shows up, because that's just who he is.
