My great grandfather started Atlas back in 1953.  Demolishing some of the largest projects of that time. Three generations later in 2018 my father retired and I am excited to carry on my great grandfathers legacy.

​

I started out as a laborer in the carpenters union.  I moved up quickly and became owner of one of the largest carpentry contractor companies in Chicago. In 2012 after completing Rush Hospital I took a different path.  That path led directly into demolition.  Ironically I built them, and now I tear them down.
