President and Chief Executive Officer, Gray Construction

Gray is one of the nation's leading design, engineering and construction firms focused on best-in-class quality in the construction industry with offices in Alabama, California, Kentucky, North Carolina and Tokyo, Japan. Gray's experience includes projects for the automotive, distribution, food and beverage, manufacturing and retail markets.

In 1999, I began work as an intern at Gray while a civil engineering student at the University of Kentucky. Upon graduation, I stayed at Gray and gained valuable experience as a field engineer, assistant project manager, project manager, and senior project manager. In 2004, I relocated to Gray’s Southeast office in Birmingham, AL. Since then, I've worked on a variety of large and complex projects and was named Gray’s project manager of the year in 2007. In 2010, I was named regional manager of the Southeast office and received the “Young Construction Engineer of the Year” award from the University of Kentucky’s Department of Civil Engineering. Named vice president of the Southeast office in 2013, I was also active in the Alabama chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). In 2015, I became chief operating officer of Gray, providing day-to-day oversight of the company’s operations team and operational systems. I also serve on the Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT), an association of America’s leading design and construction companies working to be a leading force for positive change in the industry. In 2020, I was named President & CEO of Gray Construction, where I focus on continuing the company’s progress as an industry leader and growth-oriented business with keen attention toward building and strengthening relationships with customers, team members, and business partners.
