Richard Gercken
Managing Member
I enjoy all aspects as the owner and head of operations. It is rewarding to apply my skills and knowledge acquired over my 48 years of construction experience.
I find it very rewarding to look at our completed work and see the completed outcome. The customers’ enjoyment of use and the satisfaction of achieving the intended outcome is very gratifying to me and our entire company.
I am the owner and founder. I started the business in 1981.
I enjoy family events, music and entertainment shows, festivals, traveling, being social, working on my home, and enjoying life in general.
I’ve enjoyed many vacations in my lifetime and rather than retiring, I would enjoy several vacations every year. A favorite vacation is cruise ship traveling. I’ve never been to Europe and would like to see more of the world.
I enjoy Mexican, Italian, homemade family meals, Seafood and majority of foods!
