Robert M. Brkich, Jr., President & Owner

Shortly after graduating from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Business Administration, Bob joined the family business in 1988 driving trucks, operating equipment, and laying pipe.  After learning field operations, Bob moved indoors to do estimating, bookkeeping and became the company’s Secretary and Treasurer in 1990.  In 2001 Bob became President and owner of the firm his father founded thirty years prior.  As President and Owner, Bob is responsible for all aspects of the company but focuses on contractual relations, estimating, and the successful completion of each project and the satisfaction of his client partners.
