Co-founding and scaling SmithBuilt Construction Group

As a founding member and Partner, I helped grow SmithBuilt from a somewhat unplanned startup in 2022 to over $90 million in annual revenue in just over three years, with projections exceeding $120 million in 2026. During that time, we have quickly put together a tremendous team of high character individuals that have helped build a strong reputation for delivering complex public and private education projects across Georgia.

Recognized with the prestigious Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2025 Pacesetter Award winner

SmithBuilt has been recognized with the prestigious Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2025 Pacesetter Award winner as the fastest growing private business in our state. The same year we were named the ACG Fast 40 Fastest growing business overall winner in the mid-market category ($60M-$500M Revenue). These recognitions reflect not only rapid growth, but disciplined execution and sustainable business practices in a highly competitive industry
