Meet Well Built

The moment I knew business consulting and coaching was my calling was the first time someone reached out to share the impact my advice had on them personally. In 2008, this long-time construction leader who had all the experience in the world attended a training session about business development. About 3 months later he told me, "I've been doing things the hard way for a long time. This stuff is changing my life!" I was hooked. The building industry is filled with the hardest working, no-BS people in our economy and I believe they deserve a better return on their time, money, and energy than they're getting.

All through high school and college, I worked as a laborer for a self-performing residential contractor doing framing, concrete, masonry, and roofing. I learned how a building comes together, and I learned an awful lot about hard work, but I also learned that I'm not gifted as a technician. Ask my boss.

My gifts seem to be connecting with and moving people. I truly care about the people I work with. I care about their companies and their families too. There's no faking that. I'm also very comfortable with uncomfortable situations and conversations. I'm not sure what that's about, but that has helped me to get to the truth and develop business solutions where others get stuck. I'm also a natural and professional stage performer...long story...but that translates well to effective public speaking.

Somehow, I've been fortunate enough to surround myself exclusively with people I admire. The WELL BUILT team is so talented and kind, and our clients are the best kind of customers and friends you could imagine.

I believe our mission of creating positive change in the building industry keeps good companies and team members pouring in. Starting this business was a great idea, but growing it with our incredible team is the greatest experience of my life.

I live with my superhero wife and our 3 boys in Maryland. When I'm not hanging with them or the WELL BUILT crew, you'll find me on a trout stream, ice rink, or golf course.

My dad built houses, which, from an early age, gave me a deep appreciation for the Construction industry and the people in it. When I joined the industry after college, I excelled as a Project Manager and Estimator for a specialty subcontractor, eventually reaching Vice President, Preconstruction & Sales at 28-years-old while also getting my Master’s Degree in Construction Management part-time from Purdue University. I was fortunate to learn not just how to run projects, but how to build teams, culture, and a profitable construction business.

I joined Well Built because I believe in the mission: We stand to create positive change in the building industry. Construction is hard! And the people in it are some of the hardest workers out there. They deserve to have a job they love going to every day, and at Well Built, I get the chance to help make that happen.

I am happily married to my wife, Maria. We do not have kids, but we do have a dog that may as well be one named Hobbes. In my free time, you can find me resting, reading, hiking, walking, running, meditating, or doing yoga. I'm a mission-driven person who loves talking strategy, leadership, and philosophy. I believe mutually beneficial relationships are the secret to a fulfilling life, and if you believe the same, then I hope you'll reach out and we can get to know each other.

I began my professional career as an interior designer and, after eight years in design, I recognized that my strengths and interests leaned toward project management. I found energy in leading teams, partnering with clients, and tracking schedules and deliverables—work that allowed me to build on my natural inclination for organization and project execution. Through my experience leading design projects, I was most energized during the information-gathering phase. I love the puzzle of listening to clients, translating their needs into actionable solutions, and finding clear, effective ways to communicate information among all stakeholders. This process often included facilitating client visioning sessions, conducting interviews, and analyzing data to better understand client needs. As I continued to grow in my career, it became clear to me that setting up projects for success started long before my involvement in the research and concept phase. I wanted to be part of the strategic work that shapes strong project foundations and creates alignment across construction project teams.

I was drawn to Well Built because they celebrate learning, evolving, and being the best that we can be for clients and each other. The clear commitment to create positive change in the building industry aligned with my experience and desire to help project teams all row together in the same direction. I am proud to join a team of like-minded individuals that really care about making the building industry better, growing personally, and making important impacts in big and small ways.

I live in Baltimore City, and in my free time you’ll find me running, exploring local coffee shops, sharing meals with friends, reading, or spending time at our small cabin in West Virginia with my husband and two daughters.

I am a dynamic, inspirational leader with 30 years of complex design-build management and business development experience as both a corporate executive and entrepreneur in the commercial construction industry and related tech spaces. I lead by example with passion and an optimistic vision to consistently challenge the status quo, foster requisite change, and inspire high-performance cultures.

As a proven industry leader and motivational change agent, I am often tapped by construction companies and industry organizations for my exceptional training and talent development skills, business development expertise, and executive leadership advisory. As an insightful, thought-provoking management consultant, speaker and best-selling author — I am leaving a well-marked trail of differentiating strategies along the fast-track to success at the top of the construction management industry. I’ve chosen to work closely with the Well Built team as an extension of the consulting team to continue to drive change in the industry.

I bring over two decades worth of executive level, leadership experience where I have had the pleasure of leading small teams of 5 people to larger teams consisting of over 25 direct reports and 250 employees. I have spent the majority of my career in the service and construction industry and have worked with family-owned companies, start-ups, private equity and large corporations. Using skills that I have learned along the way, I enjoy team building, coaching and mentoring. Nothing is more satisfying than sitting with a team to uncover obstacles, developing strategic plans and seeing them implemented successfully.

I have experience building teams, P&L management, ROI analysis along with being able to help distressed companies across the country. I act as a change agent through root cause analysis while building trust with the teams I work with.

I joined Well Built because I saw the passion, commitment and focus they have for their clients and their employees. Not only does our Well Built team try to elevate and support one another, we take that into the field to help our clients elevate their level of play for their customers.

I reside near Cleveland, Ohio where I enjoy spending time with my 3 daughters. When not working, I am most likely watching sports, hanging out with my family or reading.

My construction career began early, building houses during the summer with my grandfather in Western Colorado, and has included a variety of roles. After over 15 years, I have supported projects from the field to the office, from sweeping floors as a laborer to managing projects as a Project Manager, and acquiring work as an Estimator in both Specialty and General Contracting companies. I bring a background in the training and adoption of construction technologies and am passionate about not leveraging technology for its own sake, but for the success of the team.

Joining the Well Built team ensures that I have the opportunity to do one thing I am most passionate about: building better builders. Whether it is building a company, building a team, or building someone’s leadership and skillset, people are our most important asset. As an industry that shapes the world around us, it is critical we have the best builders possible. Well Built allows me to directly build on that passion.

Living in Spokane, Washington, I enjoy time with my wife and daughters. Away from the office, you can typically find me slicing golf balls into the woods in the summer, spending time with the family, or working with my hands.

I bring almost a decade of experience in the construction industry, split evenly between on-site field operations and high-level strategy work. I've managed projects in the field and advised companies on strategy and operations, giving me a unique perspective on how the industry works and how it can improve. I started my career in on-site project management with a mid-sized general contractor in DC, focused on commercial and institutional projects. From there, I moved into strategy consulting, working with clients across the construction space — including general contractors, public sector agencies, engineering firms, building materials players, and investors — with a focus on operations improvement, go-to-market strategy, and program management. I studied Civil Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and am currently pursuing my MBA at Georgetown University with a Global Real Estate Certificate.

I joined Well Built because I wanted to make an impact in the construction industry while continuing to do consulting work with a specialized firm. Well Built stood out to me for the quality of their work, their industry perspective, and the people - everyone is smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

I live in Washington, DC, with my husband and cat. Outside of work, you can catch me playing soccer, going to CrossFit, painting, or traveling with my husband and friends. I play in multiple adult soccer leagues and am also involved in MBA clubs, including soccer, real estate society, and student government.

Raised in a family of engineers, carpenters, and builders, I initially set out to forge a different path after earning my Business degree from Shippensburg University. Yet, over the past two decades, I’ve built a rewarding career in general construction. My experience spans project procurement, on-site execution of high-profile builds, back-office leadership, and serving on an Executive Leadership Team at an ENR Top 20 National General Contractor. It was there that I discovered my passion for building businesses and teams, and for implementing strategies that drive growth and success.

I joined Well Built to continue that passion: helping clients bring their visions to life. The Well Built team is strategically positioned with top talent and a success-driven mindset, enabling world-class execution of business strategies and helping our clients achieve their goals.

Based in the Denver, Colorado Metro area, I enjoy spending time with my wife, two teenage daughters, and my four-legged office companion, Judah. Outside of work, you'll find me on the golf course, traveling, or watching sports.

Throughout my career, I’ve managed diverse projects, from custom homes to large-scale commercial and multifamily developments. My hands-on experience includes project management, site supervision, and quality control. Beyond construction, I find fulfillment in coaching and mentoring others. Whether it’s guiding a new team member or helping someone achieve their goals, I thrive on seeing others succeed.

I made the decision to join Well Built because I hold the same values and believe in our vision to make the building industry the best it can possibly be. Our commitment to quality, integrity, and client satisfaction aligns perfectly with my own principles. As I continue my professional journey, I look forward to both contributing to the construction industry and helping the next generation become leaders. I believe that just as iron sharpens iron, our interactions with others shape us so I look forward to working with others every day.

I live with my wife, Caroline, in the small town of Celina, Texas about 40 miles north of Dallas. When I’m not working, you can usually find me outdoors in a hunting stand, a fishing boat, on a golf course, or at a concert with friends. I am also a sports fanatic and love to talk baseball and football, at both the college and professional level. Go Hogs!

I've built my career at the intersection of structure and strategy with a foundation of two decades in finance and over five years in construction. My experience includes estimation and project coordination for an interior finishes contractor, accounting services for a union concrete company, and facilitating the launch of a new electrical division. Most recently, I coached more than 50 subtrade contractors across the U.S. and Canada on business strategy, financial clarity, and scalable growth.

What drew me to Well Built was the team culture and their commitment to being both values-driven and results-focused. I recognized this as a place where I could make an intentional impact, alongside incredible people who genuinely care about the trades as I do. Well Built's vision for positive change in the construction industry will ripple beyond the boardroom (and even past the job site). When businesses are built well, lives are too!

I reside in the Greater Pittsburgh Area with my fiancé, Brandon, and our adorable rescue pets. I'm a proud mom to two amazing daughters and received an exciting promotion to "Nana". If I'm traveling near your city, point me in the direction of a good hot chai latte, scenic views, and a 90s alt rock cover band set.

Getting the best results for our clients relies on how good our internal team members, processes and strategies are. My expertise focuses on building a better and more profitable Well Built. I have been successful in implementing strategic initiatives for boutique professional services firms, building processes focused on client service and satisfaction, developing happy and extremely successful people and running daily operations with various teams at a young age. I'm grateful to have had a variety of experiences in my early 20s that allowed me to take on this executive-level position at Well Built.

I joined Well Built to be part of a movement of change in the building industry by building a team of wildly successful consultants, project managers and operational staff. My favorite part of each day is working, collaborating and building relationships with our team to get our clients the best results possible.

I live with my husband, Ruhley, and dog, Achilles, in the Baltimore County area. We love good food, good drink and good company, spending most of our time with the people we love most.

With a rich background in environmental science and a passion for making a positive impact in the construction industry, I bring a unique blend of expertise to our team at Well Built.

Having previously worked with esteemed organizations such as the EPA, I have extensive experience in navigating the intricate landscape of environmental regulations and permitting processes, particularly in wastewater management and office of water initiatives. My contributions have not only ensured compliance but have also championed sustainable practices in construction projects.

In addition to my regulatory work, I am well-versed in preconstruction environmental assessments, including Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), as well as stream and wetland monitoring/delineations. My dedication to preserving natural habitats and adhering to the Endangered Species Act has earned me recognition for my meticulous attention to detail and commitment to environmental stewardship.

Beyond the professional realm, I find joy in exploring various interests and hobbies. Whether it's whipping up culinary delights in the kitchen, immersing myself in the vibrant energy of concerts, or enjoying a spirited game of kickball on the National Mall, I approach life with enthusiasm and zest.

Fueled by a passion for adventure and discovery, I am currently on a quest to visit all of the national parks in the United States, a testament to my love for nature and exploration.

As a Project Manager at Well Built, I bring not only my expertise and professionalism but also my genuine enthusiasm for building a better, more sustainable future for the construction industry.

I primarily support the day-to-day work of the Project Management Team by handling scheduling, taking meeting notes, and polishing up client-facing materials like presentations and deliverables. With a background in administrative coordination and a natural eye for detail, I enjoy helping teams stay organized and making sure everything looks and functions at its best.

I was drawn to the consulting world because I love creating processes that are efficient and thoughtful. I was especially excited to join Well Built because of its collaborative environment and the chance to contribute to high-quality work that helps clients operate at their full potential.

Originally from Texas and now based in Dallas, I graduated from Texas A&M University and bring the Aggie spirit of hard work and community to everything I do. Outside of work, I enjoy running half marathons, spending time out on the lake, cooking for family and friends, and soaking up as much Texas sunshine as possible with my two dogs.

My dad did sheet metal, both of my grandfathers were general contractors, my uncle did concrete, and now I spend weekends with my brother-in-law doing renovation work. Although my career path didn't directly lead to construction, it took me through sales and marketing. After 7 years of personal and career development, I found Well Built. I bring a data-driven mindset and enthusiasm for building better internal systems to drive results. My diverse industry experience includes military contracting, healthcare, publishing, AI/machine learning software, and industrial recycling.

Well Built's vision for working with honest companies who do solid work but get pushed out by lesser competitors is a manifestation of core values upon which the company is founded. These core values are also fundamentally important to me personally. There is a sense of justice underpinning every fight to elevate our clients. In a world where dishonesty often prevails, our commitment to honesty, personal ownership, empathy, and pride in our work becomes increasingly valuable.

I live in rural Wyoming and love the sense of community that comes with a small town. When there is only one grocery store in town, you tend to run into folks you know often! I relish spending 15 minutes driving to the nearby national forest or visiting Flaming Gorge. I eagerly anticipate raising my four children with the same connection to the place I enjoy. Travel, nature, history, ecology, reading sci-fi/fantasy, and watching ghost hunter YouTube videos are just some of my eclectic fascinations.

I joined Well Built as an Administrative Assistant and now serve as Visual Design & Marketing Coordinator, supporting the company's visual identity and communications strategy. From marketing assets and sales decks to internal tools and branded templates, I help shape the way we present ideas, making sure our materials are polished, consistent, and easy to understand. I'm drawn to the clarity and empathy behind Well Built's mission, and I enjoy bringing those same values into my work.

I live in Baltimore, Maryland, with my husband and our two dogs.
