Matt was first drawn to construction at the age of 13, when he noticed some excavation being done at the campground where he worked. He asked if the crew needed a hand, and he hasn’t looked back in the 25 years since.

When Matt joined CH+N in 2006, he was just the fourth member of our team. Since then, his construction know-how and supportive leadership have helped us win more business and deliver on our promise to a growing roster of exceptional clients.

Matt loves spending his free time traveling with his wife—and sampling as much craft beer as they can along the way.

“I’m blessed to be surrounded by really good people. These guys show up because they believe in what we’re doing and want to be more. They show up wanting to excel. Getting to work with them is the best part of my job.”

While Steve joined CH+N to lead our Materials team, his passion for people soon drew him to business development. A firm believer that winning the right work depends on honesty and transparency, Steve works to build long-term partnerships that benefit our customers.

With decades of expertise in concrete, asphalt, and stone, Steve still jumps at the chance to solve technical challenges (between sales calls, of course). Outside of work, he enjoys riding his motorcycle, relaxing at the beach, and losing to his sons at golf.

Like so many of our leaders, Mark started his construction career on the job site, learning the trade. And in the 30+ years since, he’s gained an impressive range of experience across the industry.

A strategist at heart, Mark loves the challenge of looking at a project from every angle: the size, the location, the cubic yards of fill, the crew required, and every detail in between.

When the weekend rolls around, you’ll find Mark on the water, taking the family tubing or chasing striper on the Chesapeake.

“It’s a team atmosphere, starting at the top. Matt isn’t afraid to come out and jump right in with a laborer. Everyone has each other’s back.”

Joe leads our operation team with a natural ability to inspire those around him—and a meticulous approach to planning each project. But he also knows that, no matter how much planning anyone does, we work in an industry where unexpected situations are a guarantee.

For Joe, that’s part of the appeal. He embraces unplanned scenarios and unforeseen snags as opportunities to solve problems. To him, it’s the most interesting part of the job. Joe also has a passion for heavy equipment, and he ensures we always have the right mix of tools available to keep operations moving. 

Unable to satisfy his thirst for moving dirt, Joe can be found most weekends on his tractor or working outside.
