Ben Ladiromak
“I love being a dad, a husband, a mentor and a creative problem solver. It was my grandfather’s stories of working on the Empire State Building that inspired my lifelong passion for construction, and I paid for Yale by working in the industry. After following Jesse to California, I met Jim Teevan and took a “temporary” position. In 2002, when Jim knew he would not survive his illness, he asked me to take over leadership of the company. Jesse joined me in 2003, and working together is a dream come true.”
