✶Founder & CEO @Richard Group, one of America’s fastest-growing general contracting and construction services companies. ✶Mentor to Veterans & entrepreneurs ✶Creator of Richard Building Model ‘RBM’ ✶ #purposebuilder
Growing up, I was always surrounded by teams. Whether it was hockey and baseball in high school and college, or my platoon and company in the Army, teamwork has always been a central part of my life. As I transitioned into the private sector, I noticed a lack of emphasis on team accomplishments and celebrations. In my opinion, the focus on selflessness in coaching, teaching, and mentoring was also missing. For the success of my future project managers, operations managers, and senior superintendents, what we truly need are strong team builders. Team builders are able to amplify our core purpose through their people. That's why we've adopted a more competitive approach to business, treating it like a sport with clear scores, winners, losers, and monumental celebrations. #constructiontitan #generalcontractor #construction #projectmanagement #teams #values #leadership

Mario’s journey into the construction industry was inspired by his father, a Union Laborer in Chicago, and his childhood fascination with building. From Lincoln Logs and Tonka Trucks to wood shop and metal fabrication classes in high school, Mario's passion for construction was evident from a young age. 🎓 Following His Passion With encouragement from his father, who advised him, "Son, whatever you do, DON’T QUIT!" Mario began his career as a Union Laborer in downtown Chicago. The excitement of working in the big city fueled his desire to build and see projects through to completion. It wasn’t an easy path, but his determination and dedication paid off. 💼 Mentorship and Growth Mario's career took a significant turn when he met his construction mentor, Bob Van, who taught him the importance of listening, researching, never cutting corners, and leaving work at work. These lessons have shaped Mario into the exceptional Senior Superintendent he is today. 🌟 Making an Impact Now, Mario enjoys mentoring the next generation of construction professionals and takes pride in his role, especially in providing better opportunities for veterans and building better communities nationwide.
