Leadership Team

Joan Hennessey, CPA
President
Why do I do what I do?
I’m very proud to carry on my dad’s tradition of providing a great place to work. That is very important to me. My dad said, “Everyone has their place and their own story. That’s what makes us strong.” I also enjoy using my accounting and business skills to help the communities we serve, mostly by procuring federal grants for infrastructure projects. We maximize the dollars to benefit the community.
What do I do in my off-hours?
My free time is spent with family and friends. I enjoy sharing our place in Northern Michigan.

Vice President
Why do I do what I do?
I grew up in this industry. Every weekend my father would take me to construction sites to observe the work and ensure the quality was up to his standards. I learned what they were doing and why. Some of the more interesting projects he brought me on required night excavations, which really piqued my interest in civil engineering. He was proud that his work improved the lives of many communities in Southeast Michigan. Now, our overriding goal as a company is to positively impact the dozens of communities we serve by maintaining and improving infrastructure and providing safe, accessible recreational outlets for families and residents.
What do I do in my off-hours?
I am curious by nature. I enjoy traveling and learning about new places and its history. It’s best when I combine that with skiing.
